Mentor: Dawn Blitz, Ph.D. Central pattern generators (CPGs) are the neural circuits responsible for rhythmic behaviors. Some activities may be spontaneously and perpetually active (e.g., breathing), ...

It has long been known that oscillatory neural activity is a key factor for attentional selection in the mammalian brain. Scientists have now investigated how this works. They found that coupling ...

Since Hans Berger first recorded neural activity from the human scalp with an electroencephalograph (EEG), in 1924, neuroscientists have been trying to make sense of the electrical pulses emitted by ...
