It measures the reduction of BF gamma power in the arena, its relation to movement and to time in the arena, the low-frequency bands, the unimodality of theta and gamma power, and excursions of gamma during exploration. The ACC, VC, single-unit, object and behaviour data of the paper are not in the data set.",
