  • For each frequency band, a z-transform coherence (z-coherence) peak of >0.005 at a θ (2.9–6 Hz) frequency was required for inclusion. The mean peak theta frequency of the unfiltered signal (n = 19 rats) was 3.61 ± 0.10 Hz, with power of 0.46 ± 0.06 log units; zero log power is 1 mV2/Hz. Phase was analyzed using the RAD θ as reference.
