The local field potential (LFP) is widely used experimentally to index cortical activity and information processing. Classic studies using recordings of LFPs include the first demonstration of long-term potentiation (Bliss & Lomo, 1973) and descriptions of oscillatory brain states (Buzsaki & Draguhn, 2004), while more recent applications extend as far as control of brain–machine interfaces by i...
