Neural Oscillations: Communication and Information Encoding
In this talk we will examine the hypothesized role of network oscillations in information encoding in the human brain. In particular, we will focus on the relationship between neural encoding of information in different cortical regions during reading and functional connectivity between these multiple regions in different frequency bands. We will discuss preliminary evidence suggesting that regions that encode certain information are more functionally connected during the optimal decoding time than during a comparison time, and are also more functionally connected to each other than to other regions that are not found to represent this information. We will further discuss how the relationship between connectivity and information encoding varies across different frequency bands.
