Functional Congruence: An Index of Neural Homogeneity and a New Measure of Brain Activity

Stephen S. Fox 1 and Robert J. Norman 1

Extremely high correlation between the probability that a single cell will fire and the amplitude of microelectrode electroencephalogram was established in on-line, real-time computer experiments. Such congruence between spike and wave shows orderly biological variation under sensory control. Congruence, as a measure of brain activity, provides an immediate estimate of regional neural homogeneity of function of cell populations in brain.
