  2. Neural oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation

    Richard Caton discovered electrical activity in the cerebral hemispheres of rabbits and monkeys and presented his findings in 1875. [4] Adolf Beck published in 1890 his observations of spontaneous electrical activity of the brain of rabbits and dogs that included rhythmic oscillations altered by light, detected with electrodes directly placed on the surface of the brain. [5]

  3. 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.

  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. Gamma wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_wave

    Specifically, the amplitude of gamma oscillations is reduced, as is the synchrony of different brain regions involved in tasks such as visual oddball and Gestalt perception. People with schizophrenia perform worse on these behavioral tasks, which relate to perception and continuous recognition memory. [34]

  6. Alpha wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_wave

    Historically, alpha waves were thought to represent the brain in an idle state as they are strongest during rest and quiet wakefulness. [citation needed] More recently it was found the alpha oscillations increase in demanding task not requiring visual input. In particular, alpha oscillations increase during maintenance (retention) of visually ...

  7. 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]

  8. 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.

  9. Neuroscience of rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_rhythm

    Nerve cells, also known as neurons in the human brain are capable of firing in specific patterns which cause oscillations. The brain possesses many different types of oscillators with different periods. Oscillators are simultaneously outputting frequencies from .02 Hz to 600 Hz.
