Human θ Oscillations Related to Sensorimotor Integration and Spatial Learning (2003, background): “However, its presence at ventral temporal and frontal sites suggests that oscillations could be involved in the memory-related aspects of the task, perhaps in activating object representations (Tallon-Baudry et al., 1996, 1999; Rodriguez et al., 1999; Howard et al., 2003).”
EEG oscillations and recognition memory: Theta correlates of memory retrieval and decision making (2006, background): “Gamma (30 – 60 Hz) power has been observed to correlate with memory load (Howard et al., 2003), stimulus novelty (Gruber and Matthias, 2005), attention (Tallon- Baudry et al., 2005), and reaction time (Gonzalez Andino et al., 2005; Jokeit and Makeig, 1994).”

Phase Synchrony among Neuronal Oscillations in the Human Cortex (2005, background): “Interestingly, the amplitudes of -band (3– 8 Hz) oscillations were enhanced over prefrontal regions (Gevins et al., 1997; Howard et al., 2003) but were suppressed widely over the posterior regions (cf.”
