Abstract Information processing in the brain is governed by oscillatory activity. Activity
oscillations in specific frequency bands (theta, alpha, beta and gamma) have been …

Classical theories of sensory processing view the brain as a passive, stimulus-driven device.
By contrast, more recent approaches emphasize the constructive nature of perception …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

Theories of binding have recently come into the focus of the consciousness debate. In this
review, we discuss the potential relevance of temporal binding mechanisms for sensory …

The primate brain codes perceived events in a distributed fashion, which raises the question
of how the codes referring to the same event are related to each other. Recent findings …

Abstract INFORMATION processing in the cerebral cortex invariably involves the activation
of millions of neurons that are widely distributed over its various areas. These distributed …

THE dendrites of mammalian pyramidal neurons contain a rich collection of active
conductances that can support Na+ and Ca2+ action potentials (for a review see ref. 1). The …

It is now commonly accepted that planning and execution of movements are based on
distributed processing by neuronal populations in motor cortical areas. It is less clear …

The question of consciousness is perhaps the most significant problem still unsolved by
science. In Inner Presence, Antti Revonsuo proposes a novel approach to the study of …

Singer, 1994). The basis for this argument is that it is necessary to “tag” each visual neuron
to signify the object to which its activity relates. Each neuron therefore has to carry two …
