Abstract
this paper, we show that negative interspike interval (ISI) correlations, i.e., the tendency for long ISIs to be followed by short ISIs (and vice versa), reduce spike count variability, whereas positive ISI correlations increase spike count variability. Together, these effects lead to an optimal spike counting time at which discriminability is maximal
