• Optimal information transfer in the cortex through synchronization

  Buehlmann, Andres; Deco, Gustavo (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2010)

  In recent experimental work it has been shown that neuronal interactions are modulated by neuronal synchronization and that this modulation depends on phase shifts in neuronal oscillations. This result suggests that ...
