Dynamic predictions: oscillations and synchrony in top–down processing

AK Engel, P Fries, W Singer - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2001 - nature.com
Classical theories of sensory processing view the brain as a passive, stimulus-driven device.
By contrast, more recent approaches emphasize the constructive nature of perception …

The basal ganglia: an overview of circuits and function

AA Utter, MA Basso - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2008 - Elsevier
The technique of electrical stimulation of brain tissue—known clinically as deep brain
stimulation (DBS)—is at the fore of treatment of human neurological disease. Here we …

Cortical ensemble adaptation to represent velocity of an artificial actuator controlled by a brain-machine interface

MA Lebedev, JM Carmena, JE O'Doherty… - Journal of …, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
Monkeys can learn to directly control the movements of an artificial actuator by using a brain-
machine interface (BMI) driven by the activity of a sample of cortical neurons. Eventually …

Spike timing amplifies the effect of electric fields on neurons: implications for endogenous field effects

T Radman, Y Su, JH An, LC Parra… - Journal of …, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
Despite compelling phenomenological evidence that small electric fields (< 5 mV/mm) can
affect brain function, a quantitative and experimentally verified theory is currently lacking …

Unitary events in multiple single-neuron spiking activity: I. Detection and significance

S Grün, M Diesmann, A Aertsen - Neural computation, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
It has been proposed that cortical neurons organize dynamically into functional groups (cell
assemblies) by the temporal structure of their joint spiking activity. Here, we describe a novel …

[HTML][HTML] Rates and rhythms: a synergistic view of frequency and temporal coding in neuronal networks

M Ainsworth, S Lee, MO Cunningham, RD Traub… - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
In the CNS, activity of individual neurons has a small but quantifiable relationship to sensory
representations and motor outputs. Coactivation of a few 10s to 100s of neurons can code …

Gestalt isomorphism and the primacy of subjective conscious experience: A Gestalt Bubble model

S Lehar - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2003 - cambridge.org
A serious crisis is identified in theories of neurocomputation, marked by a persistent disparity
between the phenomenological or experiential account of visual perception and the …

Unitary events in multiple single-neuron spiking activity: II. Nonstationary data

S Grün, M Diesmann, A Aertsen - Neural computation, 2002 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In order to detect members of a functional group (cell assembly) in simultaneously recorded
neuronal spiking activity, we adopted the widely used operational definition that …

Neuronal coherence during selective attentional processing and sensory–motor integration

T Womelsdorf, P Fries - Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2006 - Elsevier
Groups of neurons synchronize their activities during a variety of conditions, but whether this
synchronization is functionally relevant has remained a matter of debate. Here, we survey …

[LIBRO][B] Analysis of parallel spike trains

S Grün, S Rotter - 2010 - Springer
The brain is composed of billions of neurons, the elementary units of neuronal information
processing. The neocortex, which is critical to most higher brain functions, is a highly …
