Fig. 5. Analyses of the relation between theta frequency and movement speed.
a An example electrode with a positive high-theta frequency–speed correlation. Two-second trace of filtered hippocampal oscillations during slow, medium, and fast speeds. Pearson r correlation is reported between speed and frequency, r = 0.35, p = 0.02. b Example electrodes from both left and right hippocampus that display significantly positive high-theta speed–frequency correlations. Pearson r correlations are reported between speed and frequency for each electrode. c Histogram of correlation coefficients for single and dual oscillators, separately aggregated for low- and high-theta bands. Significant correlations indicated in red. Error bars are SEM. Low-theta single oscillators: n = 2 electrodes. Low-/high-theta dual oscillators: n = 19 electrodes. High-theta single oscillators: n = 19 electrodes. d Percentage of electrodes in each hippocampal region with a significant positive correlation between movement speed and frequency for both low- and high-theta bands. Data in panels c and d were computed after subsampling to include only one movement epoch per trial. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
