The amount of information our sensory systems send to the brain far exceeds its processing capacity. To cope with this constant barrage of information, our brain has developed the remarkable ability to select only the inputs that are behaviorally interesting and relevant, while filtering out irrelevant stimuli. These attentional mechanisms have been associated with oscillatory activity in neural populations (for example, in EEG recordings). However, it is not known how these network oscillations in the brain are related to firing properties of neurons. This book attempts to link the neural...
