Theta frequency (4–8 Hz) fluctuations of the local field potential have long been implicated
in learning and memory. Human studies of episodic memory, however, have provided mixed …

Recent advancements in cognitive neuroscience have afforded a description of neural
responses in terms of latent algorithmic operations. However, the adoption of this approach …

Human cognition requires the coordination of neural activity across widespread brain
networks. Here, we describe a new mechanism for large-scale coordination in the human …

To understand dynamic cognitive processes, the high time resolution of EEG/MEG is
invaluable. EEG/MEG signals can play an important role in providing measures of functional …

Theta and gamma frequency oscillations occur in the same brain regions and interact with
each other, a process called cross-frequency coupling. Here, we review evidence for the …

Despite the several-thousand-fold increase of brain volume during the course of mammalian
evolution, the hierarchy of brain oscillations remains remarkably preserved, allowing for …

Objective: Meditation is one type of mental training that has been shown to produce many
cognitive benefits. Meditation practice is associated with improvement in concentration and …

Sensory processing, short-term memory, and decision-making often deal with multiple items,
or options, simultaneously. I review evidence suggesting that the brain handles such …

Recent studies suggest that cross-frequency coupling (CFC) might play a functional role in
neuronal computation, communication and learning. In particular, the strength of phase …

Converging evidence from electrophysiological, physiological and anatomical studies
suggests that abnormalities in the synchronized oscillatory activity of neurons may have a …
