Actual data are shown in black, while the output of a [[Poisson model]] is shown in red. In the Poisson model, each electrode fires at the same rate as that seen in the actual data, but independently of all the other electrodes. Note the large difference between the two curves. The actual data follow a nearly straight line for sizes from 1- 35; after this point there is a cutoff induced by the electrode array size. The straight line is indicative of a power law, suggesting that the network is operating near the [[self-organized criticality|critical point]] (unpublished data recorded by W. Chen, C. Haldeman, S. Wang, A. Tang, J.M. Beggs). B, Avalanche size distribution for spikes can be approximated by a straight line over three orders of magnitude in probability, without a sharp cutoff as seen in panel A. Data were collected with a 512 electrode array from an acute cortical slice bathed in high potassium and zero magnesium (unpublished work of A. Litke, S. Sher, M. Grivich, D. Petrusca, S. Kachiguine, J.M. Beggs). Spikes were thresholded at -3 standard deviations and were not sorted. Data were binned at 1.2 ms to match the short interelectrode distance of 60 μm. Results similar to A and B are also obtained from cortical slice cultures recorded in culture medium.]] | | [[Image:雪崩尺寸分布.jpg|thumb|500px|right|图4:雪崩尺寸分布。 A, Distribution of sizes from acute slice [[LFP]]s recorded with a 60 electrode array, plotted in log-log space.
