The most salient electrical signal measured from the human brain is the α-rhythm, neural
activity oscillating at∼ 100ms intervals. Recent findings challenge the longstanding dogma …

Sensory systems must rely on powerful mechanisms for organizing complex information. We
propose a framework in which inhibitory alpha oscillations limit and prioritize neuronal …

Cognitive functions rely on the coordinated activity of neurons in many brain regions, but the
interactions between cortical areas are not yet well understood. Here we investigated …

The alpha rhythm is the longest-studied brain oscillation and has been theorized to play a
key role in cognition. Still, its physiology is poorly understood. In this study, we used …

Human cognition requires the coordination of neural activity across widespread brain
networks. Here, we describe a new mechanism for large-scale coordination in the human …

A central feature of human brain activity is the alpha rhythm: a 7–13 Hz oscillation observed
most notably over occipitoparietal brain regions during periods of eyes‐closed rest. Alpha …

Multichannel recording technologies have revealed travelling waves of neural activity in
multiple sensory, motor and cognitive systems. These waves can be spontaneously …

Predictive coding is a key mechanism to understand the computational processes
underlying brain functioning: in a hierarchical network, higher levels predict the activity of …

Our perceptual experiences are accompanied by a subjective sense of certainty. These
confidence judgements typically correlate meaningfully with the probability that the relevant …

The hippocampal theta oscillation is strongly correlated with behaviors such as memory and
spatial navigation, but we do not understand its specific functional role. One hint of theta9s …
