Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

Spatial attention is comprised of neural mechanisms that boost sensory processing at a
behaviorally relevant location while filtering out competing information. The present review …

Classic models of attention suggest that sustained neural firing constitutes a neural correlate
of sustained attention. However, recent evidence indicates that behavioral performance …

Theta rhythms govern rodent sniffing and whisking, and human language processing.
Human psychophysics suggests a role for theta also in visual attention. However, little is …

Growing evidence suggests that distributed spatial attention may invoke theta (3–9 Hz)
rhythmic sampling processes. The neuronal basis of such attentional sampling is, however …

Contemporary models conceptualize spatial attention as a blinking spotlight that
sequentially samples visual space. Hence, behavior fluctuates over time, even in states of …

Sampling of information is thought to be an important aspect of explorative behaviour.
Evidence for it has been gained in behavioural assessments of a variety of overt and covert …

The binding problem—how to integrate features into objects—poses a fundamental
challenge for the brain. Neural oscillations, especially γ-oscillations, have been proposed as …

Research in the last decade has undermined the idea of perception as a continuous
process, providing strong empirical support for its rhythmic modulation. More recently, it has …

Voluntary attention is at the core of a wide variety of cognitive functions. Attention can be
oriented to and sustained at a location or reoriented in space to allow processing at other …
