About this book

Neuroscience is ripe for a paradigm change as Freeman and Mountcastle describe. Brain Oscillations provide an important key to this change. In this book the functional importance of the brain's multiple oscillations is treated with an integrative scope. According to the author, neurophysiology and cognition demand integrative approaches similar to those of Galilei and Newton in physics and of Darwin in biology. Not only the human brain but also lower brains and ganglia of invertebrates are treated with electrophysical methods. Experiments on sensory registration, perception, movement, and cognitive processes related to attention, learning, and memory are described. A synopsis on brain functions leads to a new neuron assemblies doctrine, extending the concept of Sherrington, and new trends in this field. The book will appeal to scientists and graduate students.

Reviews

From the reviews
"These books are very-well written and provide a strong background for explaining neural oscillations ... We strongly believe that the contents of these two volumes will be very useful for those neurophysiologists, biomedical engineers, clinical researchers, physicians, and graduate students who are working in all areas of brain research." (M. Akay & P. Bonetto, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 1999)

"This book contains a wealth of new experimental findings, techniques for analysis and theoretical conceptions. Anyone interested in brain oscillations and cortical information processing in general will enjoy reading this book." (W. Klimesch, Trends in Cognitive Science, 1999)

"One's response to this pair of volumes will inevitably depend of what kind of explanation one finds 'satisfying' .... Nevertheless, this is a landmark publication which may have an inspirational effect on other workers on the field." (S. Jones, Clinical Neurophysiology, 1999)
