CROSS-CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC POTENTIALS AND SLOW MEMBRANE TRANSIENTS.
Cross-correlation analysis reveals a close correlation between the waves in an electroencephalogram and slow membrane transients of single neurons of the sensorimotor cortex of cats during spontaneous activity, augmenting and recruiting responses, and after local application of strychnine. Time-series correlation coefficients up to 0.7 have been computed. It is suggested that the waves of the electroencephalogram reflect an integration of the changes of membrane potentials in both the cell bodies and dendrites of cortical neurons.
