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

Quantifying phase-amplitude coupling in neuronal network oscillations.
TL;DR: A freely-downloadable method for estimating statistical significance of PAC is introduced, and it is found that varying data length and noise levels leads to the three measures differentially detecting false positives or correctly identifying frequency bands of interaction; these conditions should be taken into careful consideration when selecting PAC analyses.

Theta Oscillations in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe during Real-World Ambulatory Movement
Zahra M. Aghajan,Peter J Schuette,Tony A. Fields,Michelle Tran,Sameed Siddiqui,Nicholas R. Hasulak,Thomas K. Tcheng,Dawn Eliashiv,Emily A. Mankin,John M. Stern,Itzhak Fried,Nanthia Suthana,Nanthia Suthana +12 more
TL;DR: Critical support is provided for conserved neurobiological characteristics of theta oscillations during ambulatory spatial navigation, while highlighting some fundamental differences across species in these oscillations between humans and rodents.

Contemporary theories of 1/f noise in motor control
Ana Diniz,Maarten L. Wijnants,Kjerstin Torre,João Barreiros,Nuno Crato,Anna M. T. Bosman,Fred Hasselman,Ralf F. A. Cox,Guy C. Van Orden,Didier Delignières +9 more
TL;DR: A formal definition of the phenomenon of 1/f noise is proposed, and some commonly used methods for measuring long-range correlations in time series are presented, and a theoretical position that considers 1/ f noise as the hallmark of system complexity is developed.

Neural Representations of Individual Stimuli in Humans Revealed by Gamma-Band Electrocorticographic Activity
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of a complementary scheme in which gamma-band (25–128 Hz) electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity— a phenomenon involving large groups of neurons—encodes the active cognitive representation of the human brain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual Spatial Attention to Multiple Locations At Once: The Jury Is Still Out.
TL;DR: It is argued that dividing attention may not be easily achievable by naive human observers and that, instead, it is a skill that may be acquired only through training.

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.

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.
