Communication between brain areas based on nested oscillations

M Bonnefond, S Kastner, O Jensen - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
Unraveling how brain regions communicate is crucial for understanding how the brain
processes external and internal information. Neuronal oscillations within and across brain …

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
frequency bands is an appealing assumption for which evidence remains scarce. Here we …

Neural mechanisms resolving exploitation-exploration dilemmas in the medial prefrontal cortex

P Domenech, S Rheims, E Koechlin - Science, 2020 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Everyday life often requires arbitrating between pursuing an ongoing
action plan by possibly adjusting it versus exploring new action plans instead. Resolving this …

Gamma activity coupled to alpha phase as a mechanism for top-down controlled gating

M Bonnefond, O Jensen - PloS one, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Coupling between neural oscillations in different frequency bands has been proposed to
coordinate neural processing. In particular, gamma power coupled to alpha phase is …

Global dynamics of selective attention and its lapses in primary auditory cortex

P Lakatos, A Barczak, SA Neymotin, T McGinnis… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Previous research demonstrated that while selectively attending to relevant aspects of the
external world, the brain extracts pertinent information by aligning its neuronal oscillations to …

The role of cortical beta oscillations in time estimation

S Kulashekhar, J Pekkola, JM Palva… - Human brain …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Estimation of time is central to perception, action, and cognition. Human functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission topography (PET) have revealed a positive …

Intercommunication between prefrontal and posterior brain regions for protecting visual working memory from distractor interference

AM Liesefeld, HR Liesefeld… - Psychological …, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
Because visual working memory has a very restricted capacity, good filtering mechanisms
are essential for its successful functioning. A neuronal signal emitted by the prefrontal cortex …

Alpha power predicts persistence of bistable perception

G Piantoni, N Romeijn, G Gomez-Herrero… - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
Perception is strongly affected by the intrinsic state of the brain, which controls the
propensity to either maintain a particular perceptual interpretation or switch to another. To …

The dorsal medial frontal cortex mediates automatic motor inhibition in uncertain contexts: evidence from combined fMRI and EEG studies

M Albares, G Lio, M Criaud, JL Anton… - Human brain …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Response inhibition is commonly thought to rely on voluntary, reactive, selective, and
relatively slow prefrontal mechanisms. In contrast, we suggest here that response inhibition …

Feasibility of eyes open alpha power training for mental enhancement in elite gymnasts

MKJ Dekker, BR Van den Berg… - Journal of Sports …, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
This study focuses on a novel, easy to use and instruction-less method for mental training in
athletes. Previous findings suggest that particular mental capacities are needed for …
