This book studies the methods for using the electrophysical techniques for monitoring concurrent activity of ensembles of single neurons. Each chapter describes the implementation of a particular technique or experimental paradigm using simultaneous multiple electrode recordings. This examination provides neurobiologists, psychologists, computer scientists and physicists with unique, influential information about large-scale brain activity.
