Predicting spike occurrence and neuronal responsiveness from LFPs in primary somatosensory cortex.

Local Field Potentials (LFPs) integrate multiple neuronal events like synaptic inputs and intracellular potentials. LFP spatiotemporal features are particularly relevant in view of their applications both in research (e.g. for understanding brain rhythms, inter-areal neural communication and neurona...
