Spatio-temporal patterns in multi-electrode array local field potential recordings

This paper presents a method for the detection of traveling waves of activity in neural recordings from multi-electrode arrays. The method converts local field potential measurements into the phase domain and fits a series of linear models to find planar traveling waves of activity. Here I present the new approach in the context of the previous work it extends, apply the approach to data from neural recordings from a single animal, and verify the success of the method on simulated data. This paper was written in 2011, though it was uploaded to arXiv in 2014.
