Zusammenfassung
Evoked responses (ERs) from magneto- and electroencephalographic recordings (MEG/EEG) are the primary real-time objective measures of cognitive and perceptual processes in the human brain. For the past fifty years, only two mechanisms for the generation of ERs have been discussed in the literature: „additive“ responses and „phase resetting“ of ongoing oscillations. Recently we introduced a novel mechanism for the generation of ERs (Nikulin et al., 2007), which can be deduced entirely from the properties of the ongoing neuronal oscillations, e.g., alpha oscillations. We have shown analytically and experimentally…
