Activity patterns of neurons have so far been examined both singly and in pairs. Higher order interactions (HOIs), or non-pairwise interactions between neurons, are being studied in an effort to improve analysis .
The type and quantity of information stored in groups (pairs or multiplets) in the brain is revealed by information about organisational structure (o-info).
Various methods to optimise the o-info implementations in NumPy and Jax, as well as techniques for plotting the HOIs and integrating them with Frites will be included.
