Sensory and Cognitive 40-Hz Event-Related Potentials: Behavioral Correlates, Brain Function, and Clinical Application

  • Conference paper
Brain Dynamics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Brain Dynamics ((SSBD,volume 2))

Abstract

The main thesis of this chapter is that two measurement operations of the 40-Hz event-related potentials (ERPs) provide a significant systems analysis technique for a developing body of interdisciplinary knowledge labeled as Cognitive Neuroscience — the information processing between sensory input and motor ouptut. Hierarchically organized, increasing neural connectivity forms the basis for more complex cognitive processes. In the hierarchical progression, first-order functional components operate as simple neural systems. These, in turn, interact to produce higher-order functional components, more complex neural systems. The final interactive resultant, operative in cognition and expressed in behavior, must consist of many critical zones throughout the neuraxis.
