TLDR
It is argued that the authors know shockingly little about the answer to where do EEG signals come from and what do they mean, and how modern neuroscience technologies that allow us to measure and manipulate neural circuits with high spatiotemporal accuracy might finally bring us some answers.

Applications of Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) Neuroimaging in Exercise⁻Cognition Science: A Systematic, Methodology-Focused Review.

TL;DR: This review aims to summarize the current methodological knowledge about fNIRS application in studies measuring the cortical hemodynamic responses during cognitive testing, and in cross-sectional studies accounting for the physical fitness level of their participants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bridging Neural and Computational Viewpoints on Perceptual Decision-Making.

TL;DR: This work highlights recent efforts to explore the identification of neural signals that reflect some of the core computations underpinning decision formation and considers the conceptual and methodological challenges that arise when seeking to infer decision computations from complex neural data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluating the neurophysiological evidence for predictive processing as a model of perception

TL;DR: This new research is reviewed and the degree to which its findings support the key claims of predictive processing is evaluated, which has prompted a recent surge in human and nonhuman neurophysiological research seeking to fill this empirical gap.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation: A Paradigm Shift in Understanding Brain Oscillations.

TL;DR: This review focuses on transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), an electrical brain stimulation method that applies sinusoidal currents to the intact scalp of human individuals to directly interfere with ongoing brain oscillations and focuses on mechanistic theories about the relationship between certain cognitive functions and specific parameters of brain oscillaitons such as its amplitude, frequency, phase and phase coherence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inferring Causality from Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Cognitive Neuroscience.

TL;DR: If crucial assumptions are explicitly tested (where possible) and confounds are experimentally well controlled, NIBS can indeed reveal cause–effect relationships in cognitive neuroscience studies.

The brainweb: phase synchronization and large-scale integration.

TL;DR: It is argued that the most plausible candidate is the formation of dynamic links mediated by synchrony over multiple frequency bands.

The origin of extracellular fields and currents — EEG, ECoG, LFP and spikes

TL;DR: High-density recordings of field activity in animals and subdural grid recordings in humans can provide insight into the cooperative behaviour of neurons, their average synaptic input and their spiking output, and can increase the understanding of how these processes contribute to the extracellular signal.
Journal ArticleDOI

EEG alpha oscillations: The inhibition–timing hypothesis

TL;DR: The general conclusion is that alpha ERS plays an active role for the inhibitory control and timing of cortical processing whereas ERD reflects the gradual release of inhibition associated with the emergence of complex spreading activation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interneurons of the neocortical inhibitory system.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the organizing principles that govern the diversity of inhibitory interneurons and their circuits.

Electric Fields of the Brain: The Neurophysics of Eeg

Paul L. Nunez, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the physics-EEG interface, including the physics of electromagnetic fields and EEG, as well as EEG-based recording strategies, reference issues, and dipole localization.
