Recent evidence indicates that the processing of a stimulus can be influenced by preceding
patterns of brain activity. Here we examine whether prestimulus oscillatory brain activity can …

We report a human electrophysiological brain state that predicts successful memory for
events before they occur. Using magnetoencephalographic recordings of brain activity …

The neural correlates of conscious awareness during successful memory retrieval were
examined. In a recognition test, subjects indicated whether they consciously recollected the …

Neural oscillations in the theta band have been linked to episodic memory, but it is unclear
whether activity patterns that give rise to theta play a causal role in episodic retrieval. Here …

Recent studies suggest that human theta oscillations appear to be functionally associated
with memory processes. It is less clear, however, to what type of memory sub-processes …

Brain oscillations in the theta frequency band (3–8 Hz) have been shown to be critically
involved in human episodic memory retrieval. In prior work, both positive and negative …

Humans possess the remarkable ability to search their memory, allowing specific past
episodes to be re-experienced spontaneously. Here, we administered a free recall test to …

Selectively retrieving episodic information from a cue often induces interference from related
episodes. To promote successful retrieval of the target episode, such interference is …

It has been assumed that the effective encoding of information into memory primarily
depends on neural activity elicited when an event is initially encountered. Recently, it has …

We analyzed intracranial brain activity recorded from human participants during the
performance of a working-memory task. We show that 6–13 Hz activity exhibits consistent …
