Large-Scale Communication in the Human Brain Is Rhythmically Modulated through Alpha Coherence
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.07.014
Abstract: Recent evidence has suggested that coherent neuronal oscillations may serve as a gating mechanism for flexibly modulating communication between brain regions. For this to occur, such oscillations should be robust and coherent between brain regions… read more here.

The involvement of alpha oscillations in voluntary attention directed towards encoding episodic memories
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "NeuroImage"
DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.10.064
Abstract: &NA; Forming episodic memories is often driven by top‐down processes of allocating attention towards voluntarily remembering the details of an episode. This attention orientation is needed to make sure that information is encoded for later… read more here.

The dynamics of resting-state alpha oscillations predict individual differences in creativity

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2020.107456
Abstract: The neuronal mechanisms underlying creativity are poorly understood. Arguably, the brain's ability to switch states would contribute to achieving novel ideas, and thus to creativity. Faster brain-state switching is reflected in the temporal dynamics of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2021.05.004
Abstract: A well-established finding in the literature of human studies is that alpha activity (rhythmical brain activity around 10 Hz) shows retinotopic amplitude modulation during shifts in visual attention. Thus, it has long been argued that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2110868119
Abstract: Significance In the brain’s functional organization, the default mode network (DMN) represents a key architecture, whose dysregulation is involved in a host of major neuropsychiatric disorders. However, insights into the regulation of the DMN remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1162/jocn_a_01820
Abstract: Abstract The sense of touch is not restricted to the body but can also extend to external objects. When we use a handheld tool to contact an object, we feel the touch on the tool… read more here.

Alpha oscillations and traveling waves: Signatures of predictive coding?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "PLoS Biology"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3000487
Abstract: Predictive coding is a key mechanism to understand the computational processes underlying brain functioning: in a hierarchical network, higher levels predict the activity of lower levels, and the unexplained residuals (i.e., prediction errors) are passed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1523/eneuro.0030-21.2021
Abstract: Abstract In postdiction, the last stimulus of a sequence changes the perception of the preceding stimuli. Postdiction has been reported in all sensory modalities, but its neural underpinnings remain poorly understood. In the rabbit illusion,… read more here.
