Two statistical models for the clustered firing of cortical neurones are discussed. The first model assumes that a neurone alternates between periods of inactivity and periods of hypersensitivity during which it fires. The second model assumes a definite causal relation between a spike and the succeeding one. Both models lead to a mixed exponential probability density function for the inter‐spike interval. Estimates of the parameters of the second model are obtained from published data, and are used as a basis for discussing the descriptive potential of the model.
