The corresponding fractal dimensions and values of NM estimators can describe the correlation characteristics quantitatively. It is found that all the intervals of successive output spikes may obey a power-law for some conditions. And in time scale the output series for a HH model for each type of inputs is correlated with typical correlation length and correlation strength. These power-law and correlation characteristics may be useful in the coding and decoding process of HH neurons. These concepts may distinguish different inputs quantitatively.
