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 …

Neural oscillations are ubiquitously observed in the mammalian brain, but it has proven
difficult to tie oscillatory patterns to specific cognitive operations. Notably, the coupling …

Speech is crucial for communication in everyday life. Speech-brain entrainment, the
alignment of neural activity to the slow temporal fluctuations (envelope) of acoustic speech …

The brain is organized as a network of highly specialized networks of spiking neurons. To
exploit such a modular architecture for computation, the brain has to be able to regulate the …

The amplitude envelope of speech carries crucial low-frequency acoustic information that
assists linguistic decoding at multiple time scales. Neurophysiological signals are known to …

Low-frequency neural entrainment to rhythmic input has been hypothesized as a canonical
mechanism that shapes sensory perception in time. Neural entrainment is deemed …

When we listen to speech, we have to make sense of a waveform of sound pressure.
Hierarchical models of speech perception assume that, to extract semantic meaning, the …

Speech comprehension requires rapid online processing of a continuous acoustic signal to
extract structure and meaning. Previous studies on sentence comprehension have found …

On-line comprehension of natural speech requires segmenting the acoustic stream into
discrete linguistic elements. This process is argued to rely on theta-gamma oscillation …

In the motor cortex, beta oscillations (∼ 12–30 Hz) are generally considered a principal
rhythm contributing to movement planning and execution. Beta oscillations cohabit and …
