When a subject is asked to respond as quickly as possible to a stimulus he/she responds
much faster if this stimulus is preceded by a warning cue. This cue enables the subject to …

Oscillatory synchrony could be used to establish dynamic links between the various cortical
areas participating in the same cognitive process. Is it possible to detect oscillatory …

An important step in early visual processing is the segmentation of scenes. Features
constituting individual objects have to be grouped together and segregated from those of …

How do we keep an object in mind? Based on evidence from animal electrophysiology and
human brain-imaging techniques, it is commonly held that short-term memory relies on …

▪ Abstract Synchronous activity among ensembles of neurons is a robust phenomenon
observed in many regions of the brain. With the increased use of multielectrode recording …

Neuronal response synchronization with millisecond precision has been proposed to serve
feature binding in vision and should therefore, like visual experience, depend on central …

Spike and local field potential activity were recorded simultaneously from multiple sites in
primary visual cortex of strabismic cats, while monocular stimulation alternated with …

Singer and his colleagues have reported that oscillations of 30-70Hz occur in cat and
monkey visual cortex 1'2 that can be synchronous across cortical columns 3. They have …

Publisher Summary It has been postulated that the perceived association of visual features
is based on the synchronization of those neural signals that are activated by a coherent …

Synchronized signals are functionally important because they can activate a neurone more
effectively than an uncorrelated input, especially if the input's correlation is over a time span …
