A new unifying account of the roles of neuronal entrainment

P Lakatos, J Gross, G Thut - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

Neural entrainment and attentional selection in the listening brain

J Obleser, C Kayser - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2019 - cell.com
The streams of sounds we typically attend to abound in acoustic regularities. Neural
entrainment is seen as an important mechanism that the listening brain exploits to attune to …

Neural mechanisms of sustained attention are rhythmic

RF Helfrich, IC Fiebelkorn, SM Szczepanski, JJ Lin… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Classic models of attention suggest that sustained neural firing constitutes a neural correlate
of sustained attention. However, recent evidence indicates that behavioral performance …

Anticipated moments: temporal structure in attention

AC Nobre, F Van Ede - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2018 - nature.com
We have come to recognize the brain as a predictive organ, anticipating attributes of the
incoming sensory stimulation to guide perception and action in the service of adaptive …

Perceptual cycles

R VanRullen - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

Rhythmic facilitation of sensory processing: A critical review

S Haegens, EZ Golumbic - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

Modality-specific tracking of attention and sensory statistics in the human electrophysiological spectral exponent

L Waschke, T Donoghue, L Fiedler, S Smith, DD Garrett… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
A hallmark of electrophysiological brain activity is its 1/f-like spectrum–power decreases with
increasing frequency. The steepness of this 'roll-off'is approximated by the spectral …

Prediction and constraint in audiovisual speech perception

JE Peelle, MS Sommers - Cortex, 2015 - Elsevier
During face-to-face conversational speech listeners must efficiently process a rapid and
complex stream of multisensory information. Visual speech can serve as a critical …

Dynamic models for musical rhythm perception and coordination

EW Large, I Roman, JC Kim, J Cannon… - Frontiers in …, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Rhythmicity permeates large parts of human experience. Humans generate various motor
and brain rhythms spanning a range of frequencies. We also experience and synchronize to …

Linguistic structure and meaning organize neural oscillations into a content-specific hierarchy

G Kaufeld, HR Bosker, S Ten Oever… - Journal of …, 2020 - Soc Neuroscience
Neural oscillations track linguistic information during speech comprehension (Ding et al.,
2016; Keitel et al., 2018), and are known to be modulated by acoustic landmarks and …
