摘要

Oscillatory neuronal activity is the fundamental signature of neural networks.In the EEG literature,the oscillations are described as belonging to different frequency bands that are commonly used in clinical monitoring.EEG activity at different frequencies is associated with different states of alertness.Generation of the oscillations depends on the internal states of cell assemblies within the neural network.Oscillatory activity in the theta band (4-12 Hz) is linked to memory processes and higher frequencies in the gamma band (30-80 Hz) are thought to be involved in higher cognitive functions [1].In addition,oscillations in different frequency bands can couple together to engage in temporal synchronization and network dynamics [2].
