We review some of the tools used to analyze time series—sequences of measurements of one or more variables pertaining to the same system. The tools include time-resolved statistics and spectra; autocorrelations, mutual information and transfer entropy; complexity, predictability and hypothesis testing. We illustrate the use of these tools by analyzing extracellular recordings from the leech, vasomotion data from monkeys, and human electroencephalograms.
