12:00 PM - 1:15 PM

Brett Foster Department of Neurosurgery University of Pennsylvania   Limits on the functional role of gamma oscillations in visual perception   Neocortical ‘gamma oscillations’ have repeatedly been proposed as a mechanism of visual perception, and cognition more generally, by coordinating neural activity within and between brain areas. Historically, non-human primate electrophysiology has reported narrowband gamma […]
