Evidence is presented that EEG oscillations in the alpha and theta band reflect cognitive and
memory performance in particular. Good performance is related to two types of EEG …

The traditional belief is that the event-related alpha response can solely be described in
terms of suppression or event-related desynchronization (ERD). Recent research, however …

This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from
being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. In a sequence of" cycles," …

Sleep is characterized by synchronized events in billions of synaptically coupled neurons in
thalamocortical systems. The activation of a series of neuromodulatory transmitter systems …

It is now more than fifty years since Sir Wilfrid Le Gros Clark (1932a) published his Arris and
Gale lectures on the structure and connections of the thalamus. This authoritative overview …

In this review, a number of experimental findings and theoretical concepts that have led to
new insights into the mechanisms underlying brain waves are presented. At the cellular …

The realization that different behavioural and perceptual states of the brain are associated
with different brain rhythms has sparked growing interest in the oscillatory behaviours of …

Abstract RAPID-EYE-MOVEMENT (REM) sleep is associated with intense neuronal activity,
ocular saccades, muscular atonia and dreaming1, 2. The function of REM sleep remains …

This article tries to integrate results in memory research from divergent disciplines such as
cognitive psychology, neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology. The integrating link is seen in …

Many of our daily activities, such as riding a bike to work or reading a book in a noisy cafe,
and highly skilled activities, such as a professional playing a tennis match or a violin …
