Perceptual cycles

R VanRullen - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

[HTML][HTML] The theta-gamma neural code

JE Lisman, O Jensen - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
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 …

Communication between brain areas based on nested oscillations

M Bonnefond, S Kastner, O Jensen - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
Unraveling how brain regions communicate is crucial for understanding how the brain
processes external and internal information. Neuronal oscillations within and across brain …

Frequency modulation entrains slow neural oscillations and optimizes human listening behavior

MJ Henry, J Obleser - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 - pnas.org
The human ability to continuously track dynamic environmental stimuli, in particular speech,
is proposed to profit from “entrainment” of endogenous neural oscillations, which involves …

Pulsed out of awareness: EEG alpha oscillations represent a pulsed-inhibition of ongoing cortical processing

KE Mathewson, A Lleras, DM Beck, M Fabiani… - Frontiers in …, 2011 - frontiersin.org
Alpha oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, but their role in cortical processing remains a
matter of debate. Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate in support of a role for alpha …

Functional roles of alpha-band phase synchronization in local and large-scale cortical networks

S Palva, JM Palva - Frontiers in psychology, 2011 - frontiersin.org
Alpha-frequency band (8–14 Hz) oscillations are among the most salient phenomena in
human electroencephalography (EEG) recordings and yet their functional roles have …

The phase of ongoing oscillations mediates the causal relation between brain excitation and visual perception

L Dugué, P Marque, R VanRullen - Journal of neuroscience, 2011 - jneurosci.org
Why does neuronal activity in sensory brain areas sometimes give rise to perception, and
sometimes not? Although neuronal noise is often invoked as the key factor, a portion of this …

Cortical correlate of spatial presence in 2D and 3D interactive virtual reality: an EEG study

SE Kober, J Kurzmann, C Neuper - International Journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
The present study is the first that examined neuronal underpinnings of spatial presence
using multi-channel EEG in an interactive virtual reality (VR). We compared two VR-systems …

Entrained neural oscillations in multiple frequency bands comodulate behavior

MJ Henry, B Herrmann, J Obleser - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 - pnas.org
Our sensory environment is teeming with complex rhythmic structure, to which neural
oscillations can become synchronized. Neural synchronization to environmental rhythms …

Making waves in the stream of consciousness: entraining oscillations in EEG alpha and fluctuations in visual awareness with rhythmic visual stimulation

KE Mathewson, C Prudhomme, M Fabiani… - Journal of cognitive …, 2012 - direct.mit.edu
Rhythmic events are common in our sensory world. Temporal regularities could be used to
predict the timing of upcoming events, thus facilitating their processing. Indeed, cognitive …
