Abstract

Two methods are presented for the estimation of the electrotonic parameters of the somatic shunt cable model. In one method, a matrix is built using known properties of the parameter space and the parameters are estimated by interpolation. This method has proved to be successful at avoiding local minima, provided “good” estimates in the presence of noise and missing data points. A second method which combines the advantages of both iterative and associative method is also presented. These methods are applied to the somatic shunt cable model of neurons and the accuracy of the estimated parameters compared
