However, in the context of neuron-firing, observations may be modelled as a point-process which when binned, or aggregated, gives rise to an integer-valued time-series. In this paper we propose an analytical asymptotic distribution for the smoothed wavelet spectra, and then contrast this, via synthetic experiments, with the finite sample behaviour of the spectral estimator. We generally find good alignment with the asymptotic distribution, however, this may break down if the level of smoothing, or the scale under analysis is very small. To conclude, we demonstrate how the spectral estimator can be used to characterize real neuron-firing dependency, and how such relationships vary over time and scale.",
