Prestimulus Oscillatory Activity in the Alpha Band Predicts Visual Discrimination Ability (2008, background): “Related to this idea is the notion that phase-synchronization in the alpha band between frontal and posterior regions reflects a top-down drive important for anticipation (von Stein et al., 2000).”
Gamma oscillations correlate with working memory load in humans. (2003, background): “There is considerable evidence, from both human EEG (TallonBaudry et al., 1996, 1998; von Stein et al., 2000) and animal recordings (Herculano-Houzel et al., 1999; Friedman-Hill et al., 2000; Fries et al., 2001), that gamma oscillations are involved in perception.”
Prestimulus oscillations predict visual perception performance between and within subjects (2007, background): “With respect to the alpha frequency range, it has been shown that an increase in phase coupling indicates a top-down shift of attention towards a relevant stimulus (von Stein et al., 2000) or a spatial shift of attention towards a cued location (Sauseng et al., 2005a).”
Phase Synchrony among Neuronal Oscillations in the Human Cortex (2005, methodology): “…inputs to L5 pyramidal cells often involve ␥-band rhythmicity (Steriade et al., 1996; Castelo-Branco et al., 1998; Singer, 1999; von Stein et al., 2000), the feedback/top-down signals are more likely to have periodicities in the ␣ band (von Stein et al., 2000; Mima et al., 2001;…”
Oscillatory synchronization in large-scale cortical networks predicts perception. (2011, neutral): “…(Buschman and Miller, 2007; Gregoriou et al., 2009; Maier et al., 2008; Pesaran et al., 2008; Roelfsema et al., 1997; Saalmann et al., 2007; von Stein et al., 2000), but require the preselection of recording sites and provide little information about the spatial extent and structure of…”
Attentional Stimulus Selection through Selective Synchronization between Monkey Visual Areas (2012, positive): “For example, von Stein et al. investigated LFPs recorded from visual and associative brain areas of the awake cat and found correlations between gamma-filtered LFPs primarily for novel stimuli (von Stein et al., 2000).”
A shift of visual spatial attention is selectively associated with human EEG alpha activity (2005, background): “There is evidence that fronto-parietal alpha coupling is influenced by expectancy (von Stein et al., 2000; Serrien et al., 2004; Sauseng et al., in press), and that posterior EEG alpha power modulations are governed by prefrontal brain areas (Sauseng et al., 2005).”
Natural Frequencies of Human Corticothalamic Circuits (2009, result): “The ability of distant, yet connected, cortical oscillators to interact by using different frequencies has been suggested already (Friston, 1997; von Stein et al., 2000); this idea is corroborated by our experiments.”
Alpha-beta and gamma rhythms subserve feedback and feedforward influences among human visual cortical areas (2016, neutral): “…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 frequency bands (von Stein et al., 2000; Buschman and Miller, 2007; Arnal et al., 2011).”
Rhythms For Cognition: Communication Through Coherence (2015, neutral): “Also during other tasks, conditions expected to strengthen feedback influences resulted in stronger synchronization in relatively lower frequency bands (Arnal et al., 2011; Buschman and Miller, 2007; Kornblith et al., 2015; von Stein et al., 2000).”
Neurophysiological and Computational Principles of Cortical Rhythms in Cognition (2010, background): “Theta band oscillations may also play a role in topdown processing (871, 1017, 1018).”
