Abstract:Enhanced gamma activity (30-100Hz) coincides with the successful recall of episodic memories, but it remains unknown whether this oscillatory activity is a cause or a consequence of the retrieval process. To address this question, we asked human participants to complete a paired associates memory task while undergoing sensory stimulation (at 65Hz, 43.3Hz and 32.5Hz). We observed that 65Hz and 32.5Hz sensory stimulation enhances recall compared to a baseline condition without stimulation. No similar effect was … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
