Journal ArticleDOI
Different frequencies for different scales of cortical integration: from local gamma to long range alpha/theta synchronization.
TL;DR: It is proposed that large scale integration is performed by synchronization among neurons and neuronal assemblies evolving in different frequency ranges, specifically involved in processing of internal mental context, i.e. for top-down processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Top-down processing mediated by interareal synchronization
TL;DR: Corticocortical synchronization reflects the internal state of the animal and may mediate top-down processes in perception of stimuli with varying behavioral significance.
BookDOI
Understanding representation in the cognitive sciences
TL;DR: The authors argue for a distinction between the classical view of referential representation and the alternative concept of system-relative representation, which refers to situated cognitive processes whose dynamics are merely modulated by their environment rather than being instructed and determined by it.
Journal ArticleDOI
EEG Coherence and Musical Thinking
TL;DR: In this article, a study was performed to test the usefulness of the EEG as a research instrument for music psychology in individuals and to determine the degree of engagement of either hemisphere in the processing of music.

Understanding representation in the cognitive sciences : does representation need reality?
TL;DR: In this article, the relevance of action for representation is discussed. But the focus is on symbolic grounding and language, and not on the representation itself, as in this paper.
