Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Beyond the status quo: a role for beta oscillations in endogenous content (re) activation

B Spitzer, S Haegens - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
Among the rhythms of the brain, oscillations in the beta frequency range (∼ 13–30 Hz) have
been considered the most enigmatic. Traditionally associated with sensorimotor functions …

Spectral fingerprints of large-scale neuronal interactions

M Siegel, TH Donner, AK Engel - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2012 - nature.com
Cognition results from interactions among functionally specialized but widely distributed
brain regions; however, neuroscience has so far largely focused on characterizing the …

A framework for local cortical oscillation patterns

TH Donner, M Siegel - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2011 - cell.com
Oscillations are a pervasive feature of neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex. Here, we
propose a framework for understanding local cortical oscillation patterns in cognition: two …

Mindfulness starts with the body: somatosensory attention and top-down modulation of cortical alpha rhythms in mindfulness meditation

CE Kerr, MD Sacchet, SW Lazar, CI Moore… - Frontiers in human …, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Using a common set of mindfulness exercises, mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR)
and mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) have been shown to reduce distress in …

Somatosensory anticipatory alpha activity increases to suppress distracting input

S Haegens, L Luther, O Jensen - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2012 - direct.mit.edu
Effective processing of sensory input in daily life requires attentional selection and
amplification of relevant input and, just as importantly, attenuation of irrelevant information. It …

Neuronal assembly dynamics in the beta1 frequency range permits short-term memory

N Kopell, MA Whittington… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Cell assemblies have long been thought to be associated with brain rhythms, notably the
gamma rhythm. Here, we use a computational model to show that the beta1 frequency band …

Beta oscillations in the monkey sensorimotor network reflect somatosensory decision making

S Haegens, V Nácher, A Hernández… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
The neuronal correlate of perceptual decision making has been extensively studied in the
monkey somatosensory system by using a vibrotactile discrimination task, showing that …

Turning touch into perception

R Romo, R Rossi-Pool - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
Many brain areas modulate their activity during vibrotactile tasks. The activity from these
areas may code the stimulus parameters, stimulus perception, or perceptual reports. Here …

Centro-parietal EEG potentials index subjective evidence and confidence during perceptual decision making

J Herding, S Ludwig, A von Lautz, B Spitzer… - NeuroImage, 2019 - Elsevier
Recent studies suggest that a centro-parietal positivity (CPP) in the EEG signal tracks the
absolute (unsigned) strength of accumulated evidence for choices that require the …
