TL;DR: It is found that the peak frequency of alpha oscillations decreased when visual task demands required temporal integration compared with segregation, and alpha frequency was strategically modulated immediately before and during stimulus processing, suggesting a preparatory top-down source of modulation.

TL;DR: The alignment of temporal integration windows to input changes found here may serve to actively organize the temporal processing of continuous sensory input.

TL;DR: The neural basis of abstraction was explored by recording from multi-electrode arrays in prefrontal cortex (PFC) while monkeys performed a dot-pattern categorization task, suggesting a two-stage, rhythm-based model for abstracting categories.

TL;DR: Investigating this precise mapping of the temporal relationships of visual signals onto electrophysiological responses highlights how the stream of visual information is carved up into discrete temporal windows that mediate between segregated and integrated percepts.

TL;DR: The interaction of multiple brain systems relating to learning, memory, attention, perception, and reward support a flexible concept-learning mechanism that adapts to a range of category structures and incorporates motivational states, making concept learning a fruitful research domain for understanding the neural dynamics underlying complex behaviors.
