\part Estimate the adaptation time-constant for both the stimulus
on- and offset. To do this fit an exponential function
on- and offset. To do this, fit an exponential function
$f_{A,\tau,y_0}(t)$ to appropriate regions of the data:
\begin{equation}
f_{A,\tau,y_0}(t) = A \cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} + y_0,

macaque prefrontal cortex (data courtesy of Prof. Nieder). The task
of the monkey was to discriminate point-sets with 1 to 4 points. The
first column contains the number of points shown plus one. The
remaining columns contain the spike response across 1300\,ms. During
the first 500\,ms the monkey was fixating a target. The next 800\,ms the
stimulus was shown. This was followed by 1000\,ms delay time before
the monkey was allowed to respond.

\part Plot the data in an appropriate way (e.g. a rasterplot).
\part Sort the trials according to the stimulus presented and
compute the firing rate (in Hz) in the time interval
500-1300\,ms. Plot the firing rate in an appropriate way.
compute plot for each condition the firing rate as a function of
time. The plot should illustrate the average response and the variability of the data.
\part Extract the average firing rates for the time
intervals 0-499\,ms, 500-1299\,ms and 1300-2299\,ms. Plot them in
an appropriate way that illustrates the average and the the across
trial variability. Do these measures correlate with the stimulus
condition? Test it!

in that interval is significantly different for 1 vs. 4 points
shown.

different for 1 vs. 4 points. Is it statistically significantly
different from the first 500\,ms period?
