Could Zamanlf please state what the relationship between neuron
discharge and the EEG is _exactly_ ?

(and the local field potential, for that matter, which _must_ be
understood if one already understands more global electrical activity)


This info will be of interest to many neuroscientists.  

The researcher who has discovered such a principle  (and can prove it
through experimental investigation) would surely be on the road to the
Nobel prize!

Who is Verzeano?  What are the refs for this person's work?
