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 indirect monitoring of single neurone activity (Hall et al. 2014). The power of LFP recordings comes from both their high temporal and spatial resolution, and the relative ease with which they can be obtained.
