neuro-kl ======

neuro-kl contains a Python module and Matlab functions to compute an estimate of the entropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence of distribution of simultaneously recorded neural data.

The KL is estimated using a Bayesian method designed to deal with relatively large distributions (2^16 elements), and is described in the supplementary material of the paper
