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

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 …

The brain exhibits organized fluctuations of neural activity, even in the absence of tasks or
sensory input. A prominent type of such spontaneous activity is the alpha rhythm, which …

Auditory cortical activity is entrained to the temporal envelope of speech, which corresponds
to the syllabic rhythm of speech. Such entrained cortical activity can be measured from …

The human ability to continuously track dynamic environmental stimuli, in particular speech,
is proposed to profit from “entrainment” of endogenous neural oscillations, which involves …

The ability to generate temporal predictions is fundamental for adaptive behavior. Precise
timing at the time-scale of seconds is critical, for instance to predict trajectories or to select …

Brain operation is profoundly rhythmic. Oscillations of neural excitability shape sensory,
motor, and cognitive processes. Intrinsic oscillations also entrain to external rhythms …

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 …

Although it is increasingly accepted that temporal expectation can modulate early perceptual
processing, the underlying neural computations remain unknown. In the present study, we …

Most humans have a near-automatic inclination to tap, clap, or move to the beat of music.
The capacity to extract a periodic beat from a complex musical segment is remarkable, as it …
