Perceptual cycles

R VanRullen - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016‏ - cell.com
Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

Filters: when, why, and how (not) to use them

A De Cheveigné, I Nelken - Neuron, 2019‏ - cell.com
Filters are commonly used to reduce noise and improve data quality. Filter theory is part of a
scientist's training, yet the impact of filters on interpreting data is not always fully appreciated …

Digital filter design for electrophysiological data–a practical approach

A Widmann, E Schröger, B Maess - Journal of neuroscience methods, 2015‏ - Elsevier
Background Filtering is a ubiquitous step in the preprocessing of electroencephalographic
(EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data. Besides the intended effect of the …

Putative rhythms in attentional switching can be explained by aperiodic temporal structure

G Brookshire - Nature human behaviour, 2022‏ - nature.com
The neural and perceptual effects of attention were traditionally assumed to be sustained
over time, but recent work suggests that covert attention rhythmically switches between …

Top-down control of the phase of alpha-band oscillations as a mechanism for temporal prediction

J Samaha, P Bauer, S Cimaroli, BR Postle - Proceedings of the National …, 2015‏ - pnas.org
The physiological state of the brain before an incoming stimulus has substantial
consequences for subsequent behavior and neural processing. For example, the phase of …

Prestimulus alpha-band power biases visual discrimination confidence, but not accuracy

J Samaha, L Iemi, BR Postle - Consciousness and cognition, 2017‏ - Elsevier
The magnitude of power in the alpha-band (8–13 Hz) of the electroencephalogram (EEG)
prior to the onset of a near threshold visual stimulus predicts performance. Together with …

Cognitive neurophysiology: Event-related potentials

RF Helfrich, RT Knight - Handbook of clinical neurology, 2019‏ - Elsevier
Event-related potentials (ERPs) are one of the most commonly used tools to assess
cognitive processing with a high temporal resolution. We provide an updated view of the …

The involvement of endogenous neural oscillations in the processing of rhythmic input: More than a regular repetition of evoked neural responses

B Zoefel, S Ten Oever, AT Sack - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2018‏ - frontiersin.org
It is undisputed that presenting a rhythmic stimulus leads to a measurable brain response
that follows the rhythmic structure of this stimulus. What is still debated, however, is the …

Reducing power line noise in EEG and MEG data via spectrum interpolation

S Leske, SS Dalal - Neuroimage, 2019‏ - Elsevier
Electroencephalographic (EEG) and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals can often be
exposed to strong power line interference at 50 or 60 Hz. A widely used method to remove …

On the cyclic nature of perception in vision versus audition

R VanRullen, B Zoefel, B Ilhan - … transactions of the …, 2014‏ - royalsocietypublishing.org
Does our perceptual awareness consist of a continuous stream, or a discrete sequence of
perceptual cycles, possibly associated with the rhythmic structure of brain activity? This has …
