%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Questions %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{questions}
\question The accompanying data {\tt Neuron22.mat} stores a single
data matrix {\tt data\_unsorted} containing spikes from a neuron in
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.
\begin{parts}
\part Plot the data in an appropriate way.
\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.
\part Use an appropriate test to determine whether the firing rate
in that interval is significantly different for 1 vs. 4 points
shown.
\end{parts}
