The Role of Alpha-Band Brain Oscillations as a Sensory Suppression Mechanism during Selective Attention (2011, background): “Some evidence suggests that one correlate of the first variety of attention, enhancement of neural processing for stimuli at the focus of attention, is the selective modulation of evoked gamma-band oscillatory activity (e.g., Gruber et al., 1999; Shibata et al., 1999; Sokolov et al., 1999; Fries et ”
Cortical travelling waves: mechanisms and computational principles (2018, result): “This is consistent with observations at single points in the visual cortex, where alpha and gamma oscillations weakly entrain spiking activity 101–103 , increasing and decreasing spike probability over the oscillation cycle.”
Toward a Complementary Neuroscience: Metastable Coordination Dynamics of the Brain (2009, background): “These oscillations are coupled or “bound” together into a coherent network when people attend to a stimulus, perceive, think and act [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26].”
Canonical microcircuits for predictive coding. (2012, positive): “We have previously discussed this in terms of attentional modulation, whichmay be intimately linked to the synchronization of presynaptic inputs and ensuing postsynaptic responses (Feldman and Friston, 2010; Fries et al., 2001).”
What does fMRI tell us about neuronal activity? (2002, background): “In addition, the fMRI signal might reflect changes in neuronal synchrony without a concomitant increase in mean firing rat”
Neuronal gamma-band synchronization as a fundamental process in cortical computation. (2009, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. relevant sensory information (Fries et al. 2001).”
Attentional Stimulus Selection through Selective Synchronization between Monkey Visual Areas (2012, positive): “We used this shape-change detection task, because previous studies on gamma-band activity in monkey area V4 had found larger attention effects for a shape-tracking task (Taylor et al., 2005) than a color-change detection task (Fries et al., 2001, 2008).”
Human EEG gamma oscillations in neuropsychiatric disorders. (2005, background): “, 1997), where also event-related gamma activity was found in intracranial recordings in monkeys (Fries et al., 2001; Rols et al., 2001) as well as in humans (Tallon-Baudry et al.”
Neurophysiological and Computational Principles of Cortical Rhythms in Cognition (2010, background): “In this task, monkeys were required to direct attention to one of two visual (moving grating) stimuli that were inside and outside, respectively, the receptive field (RF) of recorded neurons (multiunit activity) and LFP in the cortical area V4 (an important area for visual object processing) (312).”
Network Oscillations: Emerging Computational Principles (2006, background): “Increases were observed in the coherence between the spikes of single neurons in the visual cortex and local field potentials in the gamma band (Fries et al., 2001).”
Arousal and locomotion make distinct contributions to cortical activity patterns and visual encoding (2014, positive): “The effects of arousal observed here thus overlap with those of focused spatial attention in primates, where attention is associated with increased temporal patterning in the gamma band and decreased noise correlations (Cohen and Maunsell, 2009; Fries et al., 2001; Harris and Thiele, 2011; Mitchell ”
