TLDR
The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep, and perturbation of the default patterns by experience.Abstract:
Prelude. Cycle 1. Introduction. Cycle 2. Structure defines function. Cycle 3. Diversity of cortical functions is provided by inhibition. Cycle 4. Windows on the brain. Cycle 5. A system of rhythms: from simple to complex dynamics. Cycle 6. Synchronization by oscillation. Cycle 7. The brain's default state: self-organized oscillations in rest and sleep. Cycle 8. Perturbation of the default patterns by experience. Cycle 9. The gamma buzz: gluing by oscillations in the waking brain. Cycle 10. Perceptions and actions are brain state-dependent. Cycle 11. Oscillations in the "other cortex:" navigation in real and memory space. Cycle 12. Coupling of systems by oscillations. Cycle 13. The tough problem. References.read more

Event-Related Theta Power during Lexical-Semantic Retrieval and Decision Conflict is Modulated by Alcohol Intoxication: Anatomically Constrained MEG
TL;DR: While alcohol attenuated theta power overall, it was particularly deleterious to semantic retrieval since it reduced theta to real words but not pseudowords, in agreement with previous studies indicating that executive functions are especially vulnerable to alcohol intoxication.

Anterior Cingulate Cortex Modulation of the Ventral Tegmental Area in an Effort Task
Thomas W. Elston,David K. Bilkey +1 more
TL;DR: Information gained during goal pursuit motivates adaptive behavior and the ACC provides a top-down modulating signal to the VTA that can influence the motivation with which to pursue a reward.

Chronic stress disrupts neural coherence between cortico-limbic structures.
João Filipe Oliveira,Nuno Dias,Nuno Dias,Mariana Correia,Filipa Gama-Pereira,Vanessa Morais Sardinha,Ana Lima,Ana Oliveira,L. R. Jacinto,L. R. Jacinto,D. S. Ferreira,Ana Maria Silva,J Reis,João José Cerqueira,Nuno Sousa +14 more
TL;DR: The chronic stress-induced coherence decrease correlated inversely with the vHIP power spectrum, but not with the mPFCPower spectrum, which supports the view that hippocampal dysfunction is the primary event after stress exposure.

A Brain–Computer Interface Project Applied in Computer Engineering
Jozsef Katona,Attila Kovari +1 more
TL;DR: The main project goal was to develop and test a brain-computer interface that is able to measure the average attention level and the effectiveness of this project-based learning was evaluated by student questionnaire responses and analysis of students' exam results.

Personal Identity and Cortical Midline Structure (CMS): Do Temporal Features of CMS Neural Activity Transform Into “Self-Continuity”?
TL;DR: The self and its continuity of time are the temporal core of our personal identity (Northoff, 2016; as mentioned in this paper ). But although self-continuity is central to human life, it is not always present.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.
Book
The Fractal Geometry of Nature
TL;DR: This book is a blend of erudition, popularization, and exposition, and the illustrations include many superb examples of computer graphics that are works of art in their own right.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The relation of strength of stimulus to rapidity of habit-formation
Robert M. Yerkes,John D. Dodson +1 more
TL;DR: In connection with a study of various aspects of the modifiability of behavior in the dancing mouse a need for definite knowledge concerning the relation of strength of stimulus to rate of learning arose, the experiments which are now to be described arose.

EEG alpha and theta oscillations reflect cognitive and memory performance: a review and analysis
TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested to adjust the frequency windows of alpha and theta for each subject by using individual alpha frequency as an anchor point, based on this procedure, a consistent interpretation of a variety of findings is made possible.
