Pulsed out of awareness: EEG alpha oscillations represent a pulsed-inhibition of ongoing cortical processing

KE Mathewson, A Lleras, DM Beck, M Fabiani… - Frontiers in …, 2011 - frontiersin.org
Alpha oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, but their role in cortical processing remains a

The role of alpha oscillations in temporal attention

S Hanslmayr, J Gross, W Klimesch, KL Shapiro - Brain research reviews, 2011 - Elsevier
Our brain does not process incoming sensory stimuli mechanistically. Instead the current
brain state modulates our reaction to a stimulus. This modulation can be investigated by …

Medial temporal theta/alpha power enhancement precedes successful memory encoding: evidence based on intracranial EEG

J Fell, E Ludowig, BP Staresina, T Wagner… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Not only poststimulus, but also prestimulus neural activity has been shown to be predictive
for later successful memory encoding. However, it is still not clear which medial temporal …

Theta and gamma power increases and alpha/beta power decreases with memory load in an attractor network model

M Lundqvist, P Herman, A Lansner - Journal of cognitive …, 2011 - direct.mit.edu

cognitive tasks and modulations in specific frequency bands are associated with working …

It's about time

MX Cohen - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2011 - frontiersin.org
The purpose of this review/opinion paper is to argue that human cognitive neuroscience has
focused too little attention on how the brain may use time and time-based coding schemes to …

Oscillatory sensory selection mechanisms during intersensory attention to rhythmic auditory and visual inputs: a human electrocorticographic investigation

M Gomez-Ramirez, SP Kelly, S Molholm… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience

Behavioral correlates of human hippocampal delta and theta oscillations during navigation

AJ Watrous, I Fried, AD Ekstrom - Journal of …, 2011 - journals.physiology.org

recent evidence suggests that multiple navigationally relevant variables are reflected in this …

Saccade-related modulations of neuronal excitability support synchrony of visually elicited spikes

J Ito, P Maldonado, W Singer, S Grün - Cerebral cortex, 2011 - academic.oup.com
During natural vision, primates perform frequent saccadic eye movements, allowing only a
narrow time window for processing the visual information at each location. Individual …
