The role of alpha oscillations (8–13 Hz) in cognition is intensively investigated. While
intracranial animal recordings demonstrate that alpha oscillations are associated with …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) provides the structural basis for numerous higher cognitive
functions. However, it is still largely unknown which mechanisms provide the functional …

Unraveling how brain regions communicate is crucial for understanding how the brain
processes external and internal information. Neuronal oscillations within and across brain …

Cognitive functions are subserved by rhythmic neuronal synchronization across widely
distributed brain areas. In 105 area pairs, we investigated functional connectivity (FC) …

Visuospatial attention prioritizes processing of attended visual stimuli. It is characterized by
lateralized alpha-band (8–14 Hz) amplitude suppression in visual cortex and increased …

We review a series of studies exploring distractor suppression. It is often assumed that
preparatory distractor suppression is controlled via top-down mechanisms of attention akin …

Cortical oscillations, such as 8–12 Hz alpha-band activity, are thought to subserve gating of
information processing in the human brain. While most of the supporting evidence is …

Multisensory perception is shaped by both attentional selection of relevant sensory inputs
and exploitation of stimulus-driven factors that promote cross-modal binding. Underlying …

Experimental data on monkeys and functional studies in humans support the existence of a
complex fronto-parietal system activating for cognitive and motor tasks, which may be …

Conscious visual perception is proposed to arise from the selective synchronization of
functionally specialized but widely distributed cortical areas. It has been suggested that …
