Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

Here we review the role of brain oscillations in sensory processing. We examine the idea
that neural entrainment of intrinsic oscillations underlies the processing of rhythmic stimuli in …

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 …

When processing dynamic input, the brain balances the opposing needs of temporal
integration and sensitivity to change. We hypothesized that the visual system might resolve …

Incoming sensory input is condensed by our perceptual system to optimally represent and
store information. In the temporal domain, this process has been described in terms of …

The phase and frequency of neural oscillations in the alpha band (8–12 Hz) have been
recently proposed as key parameters for the temporal resolution of visual perception. Here …

In a crowded visual scene, attention must be distributed efficiently and flexibly over time and
space to accommodate different contexts. It is well established that selective attention …

Recent behavioral, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological studies have renewed the idea
that the information processing within different temporal windows is linked to the phase …

Sampling of information is thought to be an important aspect of explorative behaviour.
Evidence for it has been gained in behavioural assessments of a variety of overt and covert …

Accumulating evidence suggests that visual perception operates in an oscillatory fashion at
an alpha frequency (around 10 Hz). Moreover, visual attention also seems to operate …
