Are different rhythms good for different functions?
This essay discusses the relationship between the physiology of rhythmsand potential functional roles. We focus on how the biophysics underlyingdifferent rhythms can give rise to different abilities of a network toform and manipulate cell assemblies. We also discuss how changes in themodulatory sett...

| description | This essay discusses the relationship between the physiology of rhythmsand potential functional roles. We focus on how the biophysics underlyingdifferent rhythms can give rise to different abilities of a network toform and manipulate cell assemblies. We also discuss how changes in themodulatory setting of the rhythms can change the flow of informationthrough cortical circuits, again tying physiology to computation. Wesuggest that diverse rhythms, or variations of a rhythm, can supportdifferent components of a cognitive act, with multiple rhythms potentiallyplaying multiple roles. |
