Cognitive processes underlying behavior such as navigation, attention, and perception are linked to specific spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity in the neocortex. These patterns arise from synchronous synaptic activity and are often detected in particular frequency bands in the cortical field potential. However, cortical activity is highly variable on multiple timescales (milliseconds to hundreds of seconds). Identifying discrete neural events underlying patterned activity within highly dynamic cortical network fluctuations thus remains a critical challenge. Here, we develop a novel ana
