Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

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 …

Classic models of attention suggest that sustained neural firing constitutes a neural correlate
of sustained attention. However, recent evidence indicates that behavioral performance …

Novel methods for neuronal entrainment [1–4] provide the unique opportunity to modulate
perceptually relevant brain oscillations [5, 6] in a frequency-specific manner and to study …

The brain directs its limited processing resources through various selection mechanisms,
broadly referred to as attention. The present study investigated the temporal dynamics of two …

Prestimulus oscillatory neural activity in the visual cortex has large consequences for
perception and can be influenced by top-down control from higher-order brain regions …

Specific frequency bands of neural oscillations have been correlated with a range of
cognitive and behavioral effects (eg, memory and attention). The causal role of specific …

Brain operation is profoundly rhythmic. Oscillations of neural excitability shape sensory,
motor, and cognitive processes. Intrinsic oscillations also entrain to external rhythms …

Voluntary allocation of visual attention is controlled by top-down signals generated within
the Frontal Eye Fields (FEFs) that can change the excitability of lower-level visual areas …

The functional relevance of brain oscillations in the alpha frequency range (8–13 Hz) has
been repeatedly investigated through the use of rhythmic visual stimulation. The underlying …
