Rhythms in cognition: The evidence revisited

European Journal of Neuroscience, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 55(11-12), P. 2991 - 3009

Published: June 1, 2022

Brain activity abounds with rhythmic patterns (Capilla et al., 2021; Groppe 2013; Keitel & Gross, 2016) that reflect ongoing fluctuations of neuronal excitability (Adrian Matthews, 1934; Bishop, 1932). These rhythms can be described as oscillations cycle through phases at specific frequencies and a certain strength or amplitude (Figure 1). Attempts to account for the functional relevance have gone from associating cognitive function X Y more comprehensive understanding role brain in human everyday experience behaviour (Buzsáki Draguhn, 2004; Fries, 2015; Lakatos 2019; Wang, 2010). accounts support simple, yet fundamental idea: Cognitive functions themselves may intrinsically rhythmic. "The scanning apparatus should intrinsic period operation which identifiable performance brain. [...] In fact, it has order frequency appropriate alpha rhythm brain, shown electroencephalograms. We suspect this is associated form perception, partakes nature sweep rhythm, like process television apparatus." Theories derived these early ideas been reiterated over past 90 years. During time, research focussed on variations framework claiming processes depend offered wealth empirical evidence (Schroeder 2010; VanRullen, 2016; VanRullen Koch, 2003). Rhythmic sampling, implemented rhythms, proposed underlies not only perception but also attention (VanRullen 2007), memory (Staresina 2015), language (Giraud Poeppel, 2012). Linking cognition sampling particularly attractive because allows using global mechanistic principles bridge two different levels explanation: normal function, involves activity, experiences. addition, leaves open possibility actively intervening external stimulation either advance theory, example, close causal (see section 'Can we manipulate take control cognition?'), develop applications clinical interventions, such rehabilitation, brain-computer interfaces.

For instance, exact implicated often differ between studies task and/or stimulus characteristics (Chen 2020; Ho Merholz 2022; Ronconi see table 2019), difficult reconcile any simple model fixed, discrete temporal 'frames' (White, Additionally, effect sizes showing periodicity behavioural neural measures tend small, hence line clear, all-or-nothing frame boundaries (Milton Pleydell-Pearce, 2018) utility real-life (Vigué-Guix 2020). Furthermore, literature suffers lack direct replications, pre-registered studies, data, code sharing (Garrett-Ruffin Niso Pavlov 2021), well low statistical power (Button 2013). Finally, publication bias favour statistically significant results distorted undermined reliability published (Szucs Ioannidis, 2017).
