Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

Filters are commonly used to reduce noise and improve data quality. Filter theory is part of a
scientist's training, yet the impact of filters on interpreting data is not always fully appreciated …

Background Filtering is a ubiquitous step in the preprocessing of electroencephalographic
(EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data. Besides the intended effect of the …

The neural and perceptual effects of attention were traditionally assumed to be sustained
over time, but recent work suggests that covert attention rhythmically switches between …

The magnitude of power in the alpha-band (8–13 Hz) of the electroencephalogram (EEG)
prior to the onset of a near threshold visual stimulus predicts performance. Together with …

The physiological state of the brain before an incoming stimulus has substantial
consequences for subsequent behavior and neural processing. For example, the phase of …

It is undisputed that presenting a rhythmic stimulus leads to a measurable brain response
that follows the rhythmic structure of this stimulus. What is still debated, however, is the …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) are one of the most commonly used tools to assess
cognitive processing with a high temporal resolution. We provide an updated view of the …

Spoken language, both perception and production, is thought to be facilitated by an
ensemble of predictive mechanisms. We obtain intracranial recordings in 37 patients using …

Electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals can often be
exposed to strong power line interference at 50 or 60 Hz. A widely used method to remove …
