Oscillations and episodic memory: addressing the synchronization/desynchronization conundrum
Brain oscillations are one of the core mechanisms underlying episodic memory. However,
while some studies highlight the role of synchronized oscillatory activity, others highlight the …

Increase in short-term memory capacity induced by down-regulating individual theta frequency via transcranial alternating current stimulation
Working memory (WM) and short-term memory (STM) supposedly rely on the phase-
amplitude coupling (PAC) of neural oscillations in the theta and gamma frequency ranges …

Phase-amplitude coupling and long-range phase synchronization reveal frontotemporal interactions during visual working memory
It has been suggested that cross-frequency phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), particularly in
temporal brain structures, serves as a neural mechanism for coordinated working memory …

Alpha suppression indexes a spotlight of visual-spatial attention that can shine on both perceptual and memory representations
Although researchers have been recording the human electroencephalogram (EEG) for
almost a century, we still do not completely understand what cognitive processes are …
