  2. Neural oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation

    Consequently, neural oscillations have been linked to cognitive states, such as awareness and consciousness. [17] [18] [15] [13] Although neural oscillations in human brain activity are mostly investigated using EEG recordings, they are also observed using more invasive recording techniques such as single-unit recordings.

  3. Brainwave entrainment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwave_entrainment

    Brainwave entrainment, also referred to as brainwave synchronization or neural entrainment, refers to the observation that brainwaves (large-scale electrical oscillations in the brain) will naturally synchronize to the rhythm of periodic external stimuli, such as flickering lights, [1] speech, [2] music, [3] or tactile stimuli.

  4. Beta wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_wave

    Beta waves, or beta rhythm, are neural oscillations (brainwaves) in the brain with a frequency range of between 12.5 and 30 Hz (12.5 to 30 cycles per second). Several different rhythms coexist, with some being inhibitory and others excitory in function. [1]

  5. Alpha wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_wave

    Alpha waves again gained interest in regards to an engineering approach to the science fiction challenge of psychokinesis, i.e. control of movement of a physical object using energy emanating from a human brain. In 1988, EEG alpha rhythm was used in a brain–computer interface experiment of control of a movement of a physical object, a robot.

  6. Metastability in the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastability_in_the_brain

    It has been suggested that one integral facet of brain dynamics underlying conscious thought is the brain's ability to convert seemingly noisy or chaotic signals into predictable oscillatory patterns. [2] In EEG oscillations of neural networks, neighboring waveform frequencies are correlated on a logarithmic scale rather than a linear scale. As ...

  7. Theta wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_wave

    EEG oscillations in the 4–7 Hz frequency range, regardless of where in the brain they occur or what their functional significance is. The first meaning is usually intended in literature that deals with rats or mice, while the second meaning is usually intended in studies of human EEG recorded using electrodes glued to the scalp.

  8. Human brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain

    The human brain is the central organ of the nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...

  9. Sharp waves and ripples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_waves_and_ripples

    Neuronal oscillations are important components of neuroscience research. During the last two decades, hippocampal oscillations have been a major focus in the research of neuronal oscillations. [3] Among different oscillations present in the brain, SWRs are the first population activity that start in the developing hippocampus. [4]
