The claim means that activity at one small site tracks this wide pattern, so the global signal may reflect real neural activity rather than only artefact. If it holds, it matters for how resting-state fMRI data are cleaned and interpreted.","findings":["Correlations were especially consistent in upper gamma frequencies (40–80 Hz), where the fMRI signal lagged the neural signal by 6–8 seconds.","Lower frequencies (2–15 Hz) also correlated strongly and positively, with a lag closer to zero.","The correlation pattern was similar for occipital, parietal and frontal electrodes, and was stronger and anticipatory when the monkeys' eyes were closed."],"terms":[{"term":"local field potential (LFP)","means":"An electrical signal recorded from brain tissue that reflects the combined activity of many nearby neurons."},{"term":"fMRI signals","means":"Measurements of blood-flow-related changes in the brain, used as an indirect indicator of neural activity."},{"term":"spontaneous fluctuations","means":"Changes in brain activity that occur by themselves at rest, without any task or stimulus."}],"basis":"abstract","abstractFrom":"crossref","model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","writtenAt":"2026-10-11T04:31:47.693Z","version":"context/0.2"},"summary":{"status":"written","at":"2026-10-11T04:31:47.693Z","attempts":1,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","why":null},"note":"Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong.
