The detection parameter for bursts are shown in the following picture.
Parameter for burst detection:
Max. interval to start bursts: maximum interspike interval to start the burst.
Max. interval to end a burst: maximum interspike interval to end the burst.
Min. interval between bursts: minimum interspike interval between two bursts.
Min. duration of burst: minimum burst duration.
Min. number of spikes in burst: minimum number of spikes in a burst.

trains of spontaneously active striate cortex neurons. J. Neurophysiology, 53(4) : 926-939).
Monitoring of Spike Burst Detection
To monitor the spike burst detection, it is possible to display the detected spikes as Timestamps
in a spike parameter window. If the "Burst Marker" is selected, a line under the timestamps
will mark the detected bursts. The image below shows a spike burst and the corresponding
timestamps in a spike parameter window, with the green line below depicting the detected burst.
