Abstract: We have discovered a ca. 40-Hz transient magnetic oscillatory response, evoked in the human brain by the onset of auditory stimuli, consisting of four or more cycles locked in phase to stimulus onset in approximately the 20- to 130-ms poststimulus interval. The response originates in the supratemporal auditory cortex, some millimeters deeper and anterior to the source of the larger-amplitude slow-wave M100 component of the evoked magnetic field and moves in a posterior arcing trajectory 1 cm or more in length. The oscillatory cortical activation elicited by auditory stimuli may be similar to the gamma-band cortical oscillations elicited by olfactory and visual stimuli and may represent an essential component of auditory perceptual processing.

Functional mapping of human sensorimotor cortex with electrocorticographic spectral analysis. II. Event-related synchronization in the gamma band.
TL;DR: Gamma ERS may provide complementary information about cortical neurophysiology that is useful for mapping brain function in humans, and maps of sensorimotor function inferred from gamma ERS were consistent with maps generated by cortical electrical stimulation for clinical purposes.

The functional significance of mu rhythms: translating "seeing" and "hearing" into "doing".
TL;DR: It is proposed that mu rhythms represent an important information processing function that links perception and action-specifically, the transformation of "seeing and "hearing" into "doing" in a broader context.

Oscillatory γ-Band (30–70 Hz) Activity Induced by a Visual Search Task in Humans
TL;DR: It is suggested that this γ-band energy increase reflects both bottom-up (binding of elementary features) and top-down (search for the hidden dog) activation of the same neural assembly coding for the Dalmatian.

Auditory Event-Related Dynamics of the EEG Spectrum and Effects of Exposure to Tones
TL;DR: The results, therefore, document systematic effects of exposure to intermittent tones on EEG brain dynamics even in the absence of changes in auditory thresholds.

Synchronous oscillations in neuronal systems: mechanisms and functions.
TL;DR: New techniques have revealed that spatially and temporally organized activity among distributed populations of cells often takes the form of synchronous rhythms, which provide new insights into the behavior and mechanisms controUing the coordination of activity in neuronal populations.

Oscillatory responses in cat visual cortex exhibit inter-columnar synchronization which reflects global stimulus properties.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that neurons in spatially separate columns can synchronize their oscillatory responses, which has, on average, no phase difference, depends on the spatial separation and the orientation preference of the cells and is influenced by global stimulus properties.

Stimulus-specific neuronal oscillations in orientation columns of cat visual cortex
Charles M. Gray,Wolf Singer +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that local neuronal populations in the visual cortex engage in stimulus-specific synchronous oscillations resulting from an intracortical mechanism, and may provide a general mechanism by which activity patterns in spatially separate regions of the cortex are temporally coordinated.

Basic mathematical and electromagnetic concepts of the biomagnetic inverse problem
TL;DR: Basic mathematical and physical concepts of the biomagnetic inverse problem are reviewed with some new approaches and a weighted least-squares search with confidence limits and the method of minimum norm estimate are discussed.

A 40-Hz auditory potential recorded from the human scalp
TL;DR: It is shown that these waves combined to form a single, stable, composite wave when the sounds are repeated at rates around 40 per sec, which suggests that adequate processing of sensory information may require cyclical brain events in the 30- to 50-Hz range.

Olfactory reactions in the brain of the hedgehog
TL;DR: The present work arose from the observation that in the hedgehog the olfactory bulb and the pyriform lobe are large and easily accessible 'and show a well-defined electrical activity related to o aroma stimulation.
