Beta oscillations are linked to the control of goal-directed processing of sensory information
and the timing of motor output. Recent evidence demonstrates they are not sustained but …

Working memory is the fundamental function by which we break free from reflexive input-
output reactions to gain control over our own thoughts. It has two types of mechanisms …

Recent evidence has demonstrated that environmental sampling is a fundamentally
rhythmic process. Both perceptual sensitivity during covert spatial attention and the …

Any mature field of research in psychology—such as short-term/working memory—is
characterized by a wealth of empirical findings. It is currently unrealistic to expect a theory to …

Beta oscillations (∼ 13 to 30 Hz) have been observed during many perceptual, cognitive,
and motor processes in a plethora of brain recording studies. Although the function of beta …

Working memory is thought to result from sustained neuron spiking. However, computational
models suggest complex dynamics with discrete oscillatory bursts. We analyzed local field …

Among the rhythms of the brain, oscillations in the beta frequency range (∼ 13–30 Hz) have
been considered the most enigmatic. Traditionally associated with sensorimotor functions …

Working memory (WM) allows us to remember and selectively control a limited set of items.
Neural evidence suggests it is achieved by interactions between bursts of beta and gamma …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising method for altering the function
of neural systems, cognition, and behavior. Evidence is emerging that it can also influence …

Working memory—the ability to maintain and manipulate information over a period of
seconds—is a core component of higher cognitive functions. The storage capacity of …
