PySpike is a Python library for the numerical analysis of spike train similarity.
-Its core functionality is the implementation of the bivariate [ISI and SPIKE distance](http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Measures_of_spike_train_synchrony).
+Its core functionality is the implementation of the bivariate [ISI](http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Measures_of_spike_train_synchrony#ISI-distance) [1] and [SPIKE](http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/SPIKE-distance) [2] distance.
Additionally, it provides functions to compute multi-variate SPIKE and ISI distances, as well as averaging and general spike train processing.
All computation intensive parts are implemented in C via [cython](http://www.cython.org) to reach a competitive performance (factor 100-200 over plain Python).
