Information Entropy Production of Spatio-Temporal Maximum Entropy Distributions
arXiv:1512.01419
Abstract
Spiking activity from populations of neurons display causal interactions and memory effects. Therefore, they are expected to show some degree of irreversibility in time. Motivated by the spike train statistics, in this paper we build a framework to quantify the degree of irreversibility of any maximum entropy distribution. Our approach is based on the transfer matrix technique, which enables us to find an homogeneous irreducible Markov chain that shares the same maximum entropy measure. We provide relevant examples in the context of spike train statistics
