About bf-1

Summary of the data

The dataset contains LFP recordings from rats (wild type rattus norvegicus) obtained under two conditions (a) resting condition while animal is in home cage; (b) exploration of novel arena. Data is from waking state only and contains no sleep epochs.  The experiments, data and analysis are described in:

Format of the data

The data is stored in Matlab files, one for each recording. Within each Matlab file the data is organized using structures that are included in the document crcns_bf-1_data_description.pdf. Total data size is about 3M.
