An article in Scientific American discusses the debate about whether brain waves have a function or whether they are an epiphenomenon:Do Brain Waves Conduct Neural Activity Like a Symphony? There are …
Widge, A.S., Boggess, M., Rockhill, A.P., Mullen, A., Sheopory, S., Loonis, R. Freeman, D.K., and Miller, E.K. (2018) Altering alpha-frequency brain oscillations with rapid analog feedback-driven neurostimulation. PLOS ONE Abstract …
Persistent activity is problematic as a working memory (WM) mechanism. When WMs are in a persistent active state, they are easy to disrupt by distractions, additional inputs etc. Using modeling, …
V1-V4 gamma coherence before stimulus change predicts reaction time to detect the change while deviations from the phase relation increases reaction times. Nice. Gamma Synchronization between V1 and V4 Improves Behavioral …
