Different Origins of Gamma Rhythm and High-Gamma Activity in Macaque Visual Cortex (2011, background): “could be multiple frequency bands for communication [14], so the high-gamma band could serve as a distinct channel [15], possibly nested within a low frequency rhythm [3,5,16].”
Emotion Theory and Research: Highlights, Unanswered Questions, and Emerging Issues (2009, background): “Neither are the effects and limits of top-down control of sensation in relation to perception and to emotion feelings and their registration at some level of consciousness (Buschman & Miller 2007).”
Alpha-beta and gamma rhythms subserve feedback and feedforward influences among human visual cortical areas (2016, neutral): “Some studies compared task conditions and found that conditions expected to emphasize feedforward signaling lead to stronger synchronization in relatively higher frequency bands, whereas conditions expected to emphasize feedback signaling lead to stronger synchronization in relatively lower frequenc”
Top-down and bottom-up control of visual selection. (2010, background): “In a recent study Buschman and Miller (2007) recorded neural activity simultaneously from frontal and parietal areas while the monkeys performed a serial search and a pop-out task.”
A taxonomy of external and internal attention. (2011, neutral): “When oscillatory frequencies are measured , there is stronger synchrony between frontal and parietal areas in lower frequencies for top-down attention and in higher frequencies for bottom-up attention (Buschman & Miller 2007).”
Brain Mechanisms of Concept Learning (2019, background): “In terms of frequency, there is growing evidence that gamma versus beta oscillations are involved in bottom-up versus top-down processing, respectively (Buschman and Miller, 2007; Jensen et al., 2007; Engel and Fries, 2010).”
Mechanism for top-down control of working memory capacity (2009, result): “Our dlPFC network was a source of persistent top-down signals into the IPS, similar to findings from neurophysiological experiments in monkeys (42).”
Processing dependencies between segmental and suprasegmental features in Mandarin Chinese (2008, neutral): “Manuscript received November 2006 Revised manuscript accepted October 2007 First published online December 2007”
Adaptive Resonance Theory: How a brain learns to consciously attend, learn, and recognize a changing world (2013, background): “Buschman and Miller (2007) have reported such prefrontal–parietal resonances during movement control, and Pasupathy and Miller (2004) have reported that the different time courses of activity in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia are consistent with how basal ganglia-mediated gating of prefront”
The Cognitive Benefits of Interacting With Nature (2008, neutral): “…subsequent research has validated James’ distinction between voluntary and involuntary attention both behaviorally (Fan, McCandliss, Fossella, Flom-baum, & Posner, 2002; Jonides, 1981) and neurally (Buschman & Miller, 2007; Corbetta & Shulman, 2002; Fan, McCandliss, Sommer, Raz, & Posner, 2005).”
