Among the rhythms of the brain, oscillations in the beta frequency range (∼ 13–30 Hz) have been considered the most enigmatic. Traditionally associated with sensorimotor functions …
Cognition results from interactions among functionally specialized but widely distributed brain regions; however, neuroscience has so far largely focused on characterizing the …
Oscillations are a pervasive feature of neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex. Here, we propose a framework for understanding local cortical oscillation patterns in cognition: two …
Using a common set of mindfulness exercises, mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness based cognitive therapy (MBCT) have been shown to reduce distress in …

Effective processing of sensory input in daily life requires attentional selection and amplification of relevant input and, just as importantly, attenuation of irrelevant information. It …

Cell assemblies have long been thought to be associated with brain rhythms, notably the gamma rhythm. Here, we use a computational model to show that the beta1 frequency band …

The neuronal correlate of perceptual decision making has been extensively studied in the monkey somatosensory system by using a vibrotactile discrimination task, showing that …
Many brain areas modulate their activity during vibrotactile tasks. The activity from these areas may code the stimulus parameters, stimulus perception, or perceptual reports. Here …
Recent studies suggest that a centro-parietal positivity (CPP) in the EEG signal tracks the absolute (unsigned) strength of accumulated evidence for choices that require the …
