Information transmission through cross-frequency coupling: revealing the frequency structure of information exchange in the brain. (360G-Wellcome-106808_Z_15_Z)

£80,000

Could there be a structure to information flow through the brain, with different brain areas workingat particular temporal resolutions? Moreover, what type of information is communicated from areato area in the brain? More specifically, which frequency bands are employed by the different brainareas to convey information to each other? While high frequencies (gamma frequency range) mayplay an important role in local computations early on in the cortical hierarchy, the rhythmicactivity of attention (theta frequency range) may act to gate information flow to higher order areasin the frontal lobe, effectively acting as a filter which allows only particular packets of informationunto the stage of our everyday consciousness.
