Extended Data Fig. 3: Wideband GP is better coupled to spike timing than narrowband alpha or theta filters.

a, The phase and amplitude of the raw (5–100 Hz) LFP was poorly captured by narrow-band theta (4–8 Hz, blue dotted line) or alpha (8–13 Hz, red dotted line) filters. b, Scatter plot showing spontaneous spike-phase coupling was greater for GP (5–40 Hz) than alpha or theta narrowband filtered phases. Coupling averaged across electrodes for individual recording sessions is plotted as black dots and each red dot represents the average value across sessions. c, Spontaneous spike-phase coupling remained stronger for GP than the narrow frequency bands even when the spontaneous LFP epochs were restricted to periods where there is large alpha (12.06% of recorded time) or theta (7.24%) LFP power during fixation (5 dB SNR, narrow- to broad-band power ratio). Results are presented from monkey W.
