Causal Evidence for a Role of Theta and Alpha Oscillations in the Control of Working Memory (2020, result): “These results are consistent with prior observations that theta and alpha oscillations are often anti-correlated [42, 43, 47], and that functional connectivity between brain regions displays increased alpha coherence with suppressed neural activity and increased theta coherence with active processin”
Multiplexed Levels of Cognitive Control through Delta and Theta Neural Oscillations (2024, methodology): “This seminal intracranial work provided evidence that pFC exerts greater influence on the processing in primary motor and premotor cortices (M1), than vice versa, through control signals in the theta band (4 – 8 Hz; Voytek et al., 2015).”
Theta power reduction and theta–gamma coupling desynchronization are associated with working memory interference and anxiety symptoms in panic disorder: a retrospective study (2024, unknown): “Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) in EEG recordings enables assessment of FC that extends beyond single-frequency evaluations of oscillatory activity, offering insights into how local neural networks process information across frequency ranges [41–43].”
Multimodal neuroimaging of hierarchical cognitive control. (2024, methodology): “A human intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) study aimed to characterize these oscillatory neural dynamics in the context of hierarchical cognitive control (Voytek et al., 2015).”
Hierarchical consciousness: the Nested Observer Windows model (2024, background): “…abstraction from smaller-faster observer windows through emergence, a goal-directed observer window in frontal cortex initiates an action plan that is propagated down to its subsystems through submergence (Voytek et al. 2015a, Helfrich et al. 2017, Fiebelkorn et al. 2018, Riddle et al. 2021).”
Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling: physiological basics, analysis methods, and perspectives of translation into clinical practice (2022, unknown): “Например, выявлена связь ТГС между префронтальной и моторной корой с выполнением задачи на когнитивный контроль [47, 48].”
The Functional Interactions between Cortical Regions through Theta-Gamma Coupling during Resting-State and a Visual Working Memory Task (2022, background): “Cross-frequency coupling measures functional connectivity beyond single-frequency assessments of oscillatory activity and provides insight into ways by which local neural networks process information through the interactions or couplings of activities across frequencies [30,31].”
Targeting neural oscillations with transcranial alternating current stimulation (2021, background): “Additionally, some studies have found interregional phase-amplitude coupling whereby the phase of low-frequency oscillations typically thought to originate in prefrontal cortex modulate the amplitude of neural oscillations in motor or perceptual regions (Helfrich, 2017; Berger, 2019; Voytek, 2015).”
Causal role of cross-frequency coupling in distinct components of cognitive control (2021, methodology): “The task used in this study was adapted from previously published studies (Badre and D ’ Esposito, 2007, 2009; Voytek et al., 2015a).”
Distinct neural oscillations predict covert switching between stable and unstable cognitive representations (2025, unknown): “Accumulating evidence indicates that brain rhythms – neuronal oscillations – are fundamental for temporal coordination of neuronal processing in a variety of cognitive functions (Siegel et al., 2012; Thut et al., 2012; Vinck et al., 2023; Voytek & Knight, 2015).”
