“…Both theoretically and empirically, neuronal synchronization has been associated with cognitive processing, and synchronization in the gamma-band (30-70 Hz), in particular, has been associated with feature binding in perceptual organization (Eckhorn et al, 1988;Gray & Singer, 1989;Milner, 1974;von der Malsburg, 1981). Related ideas about its meaning are, for instance, that it is a marker that an assembly has arrived at a steady state (Pollen, 1999), or that its strength is an index of the salience of features (Finkel, Yen, & Menschik, 1998;Salinas & Sejnowski, 2001), or that more strongly synchronized assemblies in a visual area in the brain are locked on more easily by higher areas (Fries, 2005). These ideas sound plausible, that is, synchronization indeed might reflect a flexible and efficient mechanism subserving the representation of information, the regulation of the flow of information, and the storage and retrieval of information (Sejnowski & Paulsen, 2006;Tallon-Baudry, 2009).…”
