Beyond the status quo: a role for beta oscillations in endogenous content (re) activation

B Spitzer, S Haegens - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
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 …

The neural representation of sequences: from transition probabilities to algebraic patterns and linguistic trees

S Dehaene, F Meyniel, C Wacongne, L Wang, C Pallier - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
A sequence of images, sounds, or words can be stored at several levels of detail, from
specific items and their timing to abstract structure. We propose a taxonomy of five distinct …

Flexible timing by temporal scaling of cortical responses

J Wang, D Narain, EA Hosseini, M Jazayeri - Nature neuroscience, 2018 - nature.com

The contribution of frequency-specific activity to hierarchical information processing in the human auditory cortex

L Fontolan, B Morillon, C Liegeois-Chauvel… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
The fact that feed-forward and top-down propagation of sensory information use distinct

Beta-band oscillations represent auditory beat and its metrical hierarchy in perception and imagery

T Fujioka, B Ross, LJ Trainor - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
