Coherent oscillations of neuronal activity are ubiquitous across brain spatial and temporal scales. Gamma oscillations (30-120Hz), detectable with Local Field Potentials (LFPs), are classically analyzed through massive trial averages. This approach leaves us with one average oscillation shape, one mean power and a view based on rigid frequency bands. Consistently, mechanisms based on biophysical models of neural networks typically predict periodic oscillations (e.g. PING models [1]). The functional role of oscillations have been largely investigated in the hippocampus, where, different gamma-f
