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

The model- and the data-gamma
TL;DR: Brain regions that are structurally connected might become functionally connected by synchronization in the gamma-frequency band, suggesting a theta-modulated switching of gamma-mediated communication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal integration as “common currency” of brain and self‐scale‐free activity in resting‐state EEG correlates with temporal delay effects on self‐relatedness
TL;DR: Temporal integration on the neuronal level serves as a template for temporal integration of the self on the psychological level, and can be conceived as the “common currency” of neuronal and psychological levels of self.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal codes for visual perception and memory.
TL;DR: The main characteristics of the coding in the MTL by the so-called concept cells are described and a model of the formation and recall of episodic memory based on partially overlapping assemblies is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural circuitry for behavioural arrest.
TL;DR: This work focuses on three specific conditions leading to behavioural arrest: goal completion, fear and startle, and outlines the circuitry responsible for the production of these behaviours and discusses their dysfunction in neurological disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex macroscopic behavior in systems of phase oscillators with adaptive coupling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the complex macroscopic behavior arising when the coupling between oscillators is allowed to evolve slowly as a function of either macro-scopic or local system properties.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
