Neurocognitive architecture of working memory (2015, background): “38 Neuron 88, October 7, 2015 ª2015 Elsevier Inc. Analogous sustained delay activity phenomena during working-memory tasks can also be observed in EEG/MEG oscillations in other frequencies, including the alpha (8–12 hz) and theta (4–7 hz) frequency bands (Roux and Uhlhaas, 2014).”
THE COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE OF WORKING MEMORY (2007, background): “Roux and Uhlhaas (2014) have proposed a different functional role for each of these frequency bands.”
Neural Cross-Frequency Coupling: Connecting Architectures, Mechanisms, and Functions. (2015, positive): “Coupling phase of gamma oscillations to slower rhythms may be a way to selectively enhance communication between distant areas via long-distance synchronization between local gamma rhythms [12,59].”
The development of theta and alpha neural oscillations from ages 3 to 24 years (2021, background): “Alpha and theta oscillations are developmentally significant because they have both been shown to be closely related to attention (Foxe and Snyder, 2011; Fries et al., 2001; Klimesch, 1999) and working memory (Roux and Uhlhaas, 2014; Sauseng et al., 2009, 2005).”
Lifespan Trajectories of Alpha Rhythm: Dynamic Shifts in Neural Excitation-Inhibition Balance (2025, unknown): “Alpha rhythm, typically ranging from 8 to 13 Hz, is among the most prominent rhythms observed in the human brain 1–5 and have been linked to various cognitive functions 6–10 , including attention 11–16 , memory 17–25 and learning 26–29 .”
Neural insights on expert surgeons’ mental workload during live robotic surgeries (2025, unknown): “Previous research has shown that theta frequency in the frontal cortex is positively correlated with increased mental workload 16,17,43,44 and the number of concurrent tasks to be processed 7,45 .”
Linking the multiple-demand cognitive control system to human electrophysiological activity (2025, unknown): “Among these, the spectral power of neural oscillations across different frequency bands has been a prominent focus (Cavanagh and Frank, 2014; Chikhi et al., 2022; Pavlov and Kotchoubey, 2022; Roux and Uhlhaas, 2014).”
Aperiodic and oscillatory systems underpinning human domain-general cognition (2024, unknown): “For oscillatory activity, many MEG/EEG studies have found that neural oscillations at different frequency bands are associated with task demand in various tasks 26 – 29 .”
