A rhythmic theory of attention

IC Fiebelkorn, S Kastner - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2019 - cell.com
Recent evidence has demonstrated that environmental sampling is a fundamentally
rhythmic process. Both perceptual sensitivity during covert spatial attention and the …

Rhythms for cognition: communication through coherence

P Fries - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

The fast continuous wavelet transformation (fCWT) for real-time, high-quality, noise-resistant time–frequency analysis

LPA Arts, EL van den Broek - Nature Computational Science, 2022 - nature.com
The spectral analysis of signals is currently either dominated by the speed–accuracy trade-
off or ignores a signal's often non-stationary character. Here we introduce an open-source …

A dynamic interplay within the frontoparietal network underlies rhythmic spatial attention

IC Fiebelkorn, MA Pinsk, S Kastner - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Classic studies of spatial attention assumed that its neural and behavioral effects were
continuous over time. Recent behavioral studies have instead revealed that spatial attention …

Waking state: rapid variations modulate neural and behavioral responses

MJ McGinley, M Vinck, J Reimer, R Batista-Brito… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
The state of the brain and body constantly varies on rapid and slow timescales. These
variations contribute to the apparent noisiness of sensory responses at both the neural and …

Top-down influences on visual processing

CD Gilbert, W Li - Nature reviews neuroscience, 2013 - nature.com
Re-entrant or feedback pathways between cortical areas carry rich and varied information
about behavioural context, including attention, expectation, perceptual tasks, working …

Experimental and theoretical approaches to conscious processing

S Dehaene, JP Changeux - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
Recent experimental studies and theoretical models have begun to address the challenge of
establishing a causal link between subjective conscious experience and measurable …

Cortical oscillations and sensory predictions

LH Arnal, AL Giraud - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2012 - cell.com
Many theories of perception are anchored in the central notion that the brain continuously
updates an internal model of the world to infer the probable causes of sensory events. In this …

Investigating large-scale brain dynamics using field potential recordings: analysis and interpretation

B Pesaran, M Vinck, GT Einevoll, A Sirota, P Fries… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
New technologies to record electrical activity from the brain on a massive scale offer
tremendous opportunities for discovery. Electrical measurements of large-scale brain …
