This study uses simultaneous resting state fMRI and microelectrode recording to investigate the relationship between the temporal dynamics of bilateral electrical activity and bilateral blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) fluctuations using Sliding Window Correlation. This shows an electrical basis for BOLD signal functional connectivity dynamics that can be observed with sliding window correlation.
