Neural mechanisms of sustained attention are rhythmic

RF Helfrich, IC Fiebelkorn, SM Szczepanski, JJ Lin… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Classic models of attention suggest that sustained neural firing constitutes a neural correlate
of sustained attention. However, recent evidence indicates that behavioral performance …

Oscillatory mechanisms of stimulus processing and selection in the visual and auditory systems: state-of-the-art, speculations and suggestions

B Zoefel, R VanRullen - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 - frontiersin.org
All sensory systems need to continuously prioritize and select incoming stimuli in order to
avoid overflow or interference, and provide a structure to the brain's input. However, the …

Prefrontal cortex modulates posterior alpha oscillations during top-down guided visual perception

RF Helfrich, M Huang, G Wilson… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
Conscious visual perception is proposed to arise from the selective synchronization of
functionally specialized but widely distributed cortical areas. It has been suggested that …

The role of high-level processes for oscillatory phase entrainment to speech sound

B Zoefel, R VanRullen - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Constantly bombarded with input, the brain has the need to filter out relevant information
while ignoring the irrelevant rest. A powerful tool may be represented by neural oscillations …

The self and conscious experience

G Marchetti - Frontiers in Psychology, 2024 - frontiersin.org
The primary determinant of the self (S) is the conscious experience (CE) we have of it.
Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that empirical research on S mainly resorts to the …

Sequential hemifield gating of α-and β-behavioral performance oscillations after microsaccades

J Bellet, CY Chen, ZM Hafed - Journal of neurophysiology, 2017 - journals.physiology.org
Microsaccades are tiny saccades that occur during gaze fixation. Even though visual
processing has been shown to be strongly modulated close to the time of microsaccades …

No evidence of rhythmic visuospatial attention at cued locations in a spatial cuing paradigm, regardless of their behavioural relevance

OJ van Der Werf, S Ten Oever… - European Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Recent evidence suggests that visuospatial attentional performance is not stable over time
but fluctuates in a rhythmic fashion. These attentional rhythms allow for sampling of different …

The why of the phenomenal aspect of consciousness: Its main functions and the mechanisms underpinning it

G Marchetti - Frontiers in psychology, 2022 - frontiersin.org
What distinguishes conscious information processing from other kinds of information
processing is its phenomenal aspect (PAC), the-what-it-is-like for an agent to experience …

Cognitive neurophysiology of the prefrontal cortex

RF Helfrich, RT Knight - Handbook of clinical neurology, 2019 - Elsevier
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) provides the structural basis for complex rule-guided goal-
directed behavior. However, the functional mechanisms that underlie cognitive control and …
