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 …

I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

Classic models of attention suggest that sustained neural firing constitutes a neural correlate
of sustained attention. However, recent evidence indicates that behavioral performance …

Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

A comprehensive guide to the conceptual, mathematical, and implementational aspects of
analyzing electrical brain signals, including data from MEG, EEG, and LFP recordings. This …

The alpha rhythm is the longest-studied brain oscillation and has been theorized to play a
key role in cognition. Still, its physiology is poorly understood. In this study, we used …

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 …

Alpha-band oscillations are the dominant oscillations in the human brain and recent
evidence suggests that they have an inhibitory function. Nonetheless, there is little doubt that …

Theta and gamma frequency oscillations occur in the same brain regions and interact with
each other, a process called cross-frequency coupling. Here, we review evidence for the …

As we start to fall asleep, the sense of self slackens. Images float by, and our awareness
becomes progressively absorbed in them. The impression of being a bounded individual …
