Beyond the status quo: a role for beta oscillations in endogenous content (re) activation

B Spitzer, S Haegens - eneuro, 2017‏ - eneuro.org
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 …
