“…These studies suggest that the power or phase of oscillatory activity modulates the level of cortical activity or behavioral performance [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32] and hence plays a central role in the dynamic modulation of cortical function in response to varying task demands [33, 34, 35]. Specifically, these and other studies have consistently reported that during times when oscillatory power is low or during times of an oscillatory trough, the probability of action potential firing rate, broadband gamma augmentation, or higher behavioral performance is increased 2 .…”
