Alpha and gamma oscillations characterize feedback and feedforward processing in monkey visual cortex (2014, background): “05) (36) in further support of this idea.”
Perceptual Cycles. (2016, background): “Logically, then, our sensory, cognitive, and motor processing abilities should be expected to fluctuate rhythmically: within each oscillatory cycle of a functionally important brain rhythm, there should be a phase that is more appropriate and one less appropriate for the neural process under conside”
The Theta-Gamma Neural Code (2013, positive): “Further evidence that high alpha power is associated with inhibition is that firing rates, phosphene detection, and the BOLD signal are all reduced (Haegens et al., 2011; Ritter et al., 2009; Romei et al., 2008).”
Working Memory 2.0 (2018, neutral): “During working memory tasks, there are LFP oscillations (i.e. synchronized activity) in the alpha and beta band (10–30 Hz), gamma band (30–100 Hz), and theta band (4–8 Hz; Bahramisharif et al., 2017; Bastos et al., 2018; van Ede et al., 2017; Honkanen et al., 2015; Howard et al., 2003; Lundqvist et ”
Neural Cross-Frequency Coupling: Connecting Architectures, Mechanisms, and Functions. (2015, positive): “The human visual alpha oscillation is asymmetric [47] and is thought to be functionally inhibitory [48,49].”
EEG and MEG: relevance to neuroscience. (2013, background): “In this respect, the study of Haegens et al. (2011) is particularly relevant.”
Resting-state periodic and aperiodic brain oscillations from birth to preschool years: Aperiodic maturity predicts developmental course (2026, unknown): “…He, 2014; Freeman and Zhai, 2009; He et al., 2019; Tran, 2020), with dominant oscillation activity reflecting the excitability of a cortical region (Haegens, 2011; Foxe and Snyder, 2011; Klimesch et al., 2007; Riddle, 2020), associated with top-down cognitive control processes (Buschman and…”
Rhythms of human attention and memory: An embedded process perspective (2022, background): “An inverse relation between local field alpha desynchronization and neural firing rates in sensory cortical regions has been found in monkeys (Haegens et al., 2011), and the alpha rhythm has been shown to exert top-down influences in the visual cortex of macaques (Bastos et al.”
Nested oscillations and brain connectivity during sequential stages of feature-based attention (2020, background): “…revealing top-down, attention-related α-modulations that interfere with local structures of α-γ phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) in sensory areas (Bonnefond and Jensen, 2015; Haegens et al., 2011b; Mathewson et al., 2011; Mazaheri and Jensen, 2010; Pascucci et al., 2018; Popov et al., 2017).”
