• Causal Evidence for the Role of Neuronal Oscillations in Top-Down and Bottom-Up Attention (2019, unknown): “Beta-band oscillations are found during a variety of tasks that require top-down attention (Engel & Fries, 2010).”
• Alterations in aperiodic and periodic EEG activity in young children with Down syndrome (2024, unknown): “…al., 2013); for example, the strength of alpha oscillations is modulated by attention (Klimesch, 2012; Foxe and Snyder, 2011), whereas oscillations in the beta range have been associated with sensory motor processing and high-order cognitive tasks (Engel and Fries, 2010; Spitzer and Haegens, 2017).”
• Time course of EEG power during creative problem‐solving with insight or remote thinking (2021, unknown): “…of beta-band activity has been related to various aspects of language processing (Weiss & Mueller, 2012), such as the maintenance of a mental state during a cognitive task requiring language (Engel & Fries, 2010) or of visual object representation in short-term memory (Tallon-Baudry et al., 1999).”
• Cortical beta oscillations reflect the contextual gating of visual action feedback (2020, unknown): “A widely held belief is that ‘top-down’ processes are communicated via slow oscillatory frequencies (Arnal & Giraud, 2012; Bastos et al., 2015; Donner & Siegel, 2011; Engel & Fries, 2010; Friston et al., 2015; Wang, 2010).”
• Characterising the spatial and oscillatory unfolding of Theory of Mind in adults using fMRI and MEG (2022, unknown): “Previous MEG connectivity studies have shown that cognitive processes are modulated by specific frequency oscillations including theta (implicated in long-range communication in the brain), alpha (implicated in several cognitive processes including attention and memory), beta (implicated in top down”
