Theories of binding have recently come into the focus of the consciousness debate. In this
review, we discuss the potential relevance of temporal binding mechanisms for sensory …

Most cognitive functions are based on highly parallel and distributed information processing
by the brain. A paradigmatic example is provided by the vertebrate visual system where …

This article presents, for the first time, a practical method for the direct quantification of
frequency‐specific synchronization (ie, transient phase‐locking) between two neuroelectric …

Transient periods of synchronization of oscillating neuronal discharges in the frequency
range 30–80 Hz (gamma oscillations) have been proposed to act as an integrative …

Following the discovery of context-dependent synchronization of oscillatory neuronal
responses in the visual system, the role of neural synchrony in cortical networks has been …

Most practical applications of artificial neural networks are based on a computational model
involving the propagation of continuous variables from one processing unit to the next. In …

This paper introduces a new method, single-trial phase locking statistics (S-PLS) to estimate
phase locking in single trials of brain signals between two electrodes. The possibility of …

Neuronal response synchronization with millisecond precision has been proposed to serve
feature binding in vision and should therefore, like visual experience, depend on central …

Birds are excellent model organisms to study perceptual categorization and concept
formation. The renewed focus on avian neuroscience has sparked an explosion of new data …

The brain is a highly distributed system in which numerous operations are executed in
parallel and that lacks a single coordinating center. This raises the questions of i) how the …
