Journal ArticleDOI
α-Oscillations in the monkey sensorimotor network influence discrimination performance by rhythmical inhibition of neuronal spiking
TL;DR: The pulsed inhibition by α-oscillations plays an important functional role in the extended sensorimotor system and is suggested to exercise a strong inhibitory influence on both spike timing and firing rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter- and intra-individual variability in alpha peak frequency.
TL;DR: It is concluded that alpha peak frequency in posterior regions increases with increasing cognitive demands, and that the alpha rhythm operates across a wider frequency range than the 8–12 Hz band many studies tend to include in their analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Top-down controlled alpha band activity in somatosensory areas determines behavioral performance in a discrimination task.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that prestimulus alpha lateralization in the somatosensory system behaves similarly to posterior alpha activity observed in visual attention tasks, extending the notion that alpha band activity is involved in shaping the functional architecture of the working brain by determining both the engagement and disengagement of specific regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond the Status Quo: A Role for Beta Oscillations in Endogenous Content (Re)Activation.
TL;DR: It is suggested that beta-mediated ensemble formation within and between cortical areas may awake, rather than merely preserve, an endogenous cognitive set in the service of current task demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural mechanisms of transient neocortical beta rhythms: Converging evidence from humans, computational modeling, monkeys, and mice.

TL;DR: A new theory that accounts for the origin of spontaneous neocortical beta is presented and several predictions about optimal states for perceptual and motor performance are made to guide causal interventions to modulate beta for optimal function.
