The core of Ephys
Ephys signal is measured in voltage (V), current (I),
and resistance (R) or conductance (G=1/R)
!
These variables are related according to Ohm’s law:
V = I ◦ R or I = V ◦ G
!
Ephys signal has different frequencies
!
Frequency is measured as oscillation per second (Hz)
!
Each type of neuronal activity is located within areas
in the frequency band running from 0 to 5000 Hz
4. The generator of the Ephys signal

Neurons are like a battery
Negative inside (-60 to -70 mV)
Generate action potentials via
voltage-gated ion-channels
Some have pacemaker activity

In the beginning EEG was used as indicator for
sleep stages (Slow wave, light, REM)
together with recording of muscular tone
(EMG)
diseases like epilepsy and brain damage
10. Brain activity and EEG
Possibly only a small proportion of nerve cells
generate synchronous spikes in normal mental state
!
Cerebral rhythms picked up by EEG represent
synchronous synaptic activity
!
EEG measures only a small fraction of the total brain
activity due to
Dilution (distance-2 ≈ amplitude)
Variability in conductivity
Mixed orientation of active dendrites
Lack of synchronous activity
Claus Mathiesen October 2012
11. Irregular activity leads to high frequency and low amplitude

Synchronized activity leads to low frequency and high
amplitude EEG
13. Delta rhythms (<4 Hz EEG)
Marker for slow-wave sleep also called deep sleep.
In slow-wave sleep the brain recovers
Claus Mathiesen October 2012
14. Theta rhythms (4-7 Hz EEG)
In rodents the theta rhythms (4-10 Hz) originate
from hippocampus and is an indicator for
paradoxical sleep (rodents REM sleep)
Exploration and sniffing
!
In humans the theta rhythms originate from cortex
and is an indicator for
Drowsiness
Meditation
Light sleep states

16. Gamma rhythms (30-80 Hz EEG)
Represent spike timing of a large ensemble of neurons
Dependent on GABA interneurons that synchronise the
spiking of pyramidal cells
!
Synchronous neuronal activity is a tool for dealing with
information with different modalities:
Perceptual binding
Attention
Working memory
!
Can be observed at multiple spatial scales, from single-unit
recordings to MEG and scalp EEG

The first spatial derivative of the Field
potential is equal to Current Flow
Density.
The Current Flow Density is a vector
indicating the amplitude and direction of
current flowing through a giving point in
the extracellular medium.
The second spatial derivatives of the
field potential is equal to the Current
Source Density (CSD).
The Current Source Density correspond to
