Theoretical distributions of single quiescent to active transitions and the combined distributions. Theoretical (red) and simulated (black) probability distributions for a single quiescent to active transitions and b this distribution combined with the distribution of consecutive active to quiescent transitions (see Fig. 7). In both cases $\alpha =1$, $w=1$, $N=50$ and $h=1/N$. The green line indicates the average time between consecutive spikes (δt) within the simulations. Thresholding the combined distribution (b) at this level determines the IAI distribution
