“…These large oscillations, with amplitudes comparable to the hemodynamic response to sensory stimulus, are sporadic, but have been shown to occur in the rat (Golanov et al, 1994; Grosberg et al, 2012; Majeed et al, 2009; Mayhew et al, 1996; Saka et al, 2010), cat (Spitzer et al, 2001), awake rabbit (Hundley et al, 1988) and non-invasively in humans using near-infrared spectroscopy (Elwell et al, 1999; Kolyva et al, 2013; Näsi et al, 2011; Obrig et al, 2000; Sassaroli et al, 2012; Schroeter et al, 2005), and fMRI BOLD (Mitra et al, 1997). In some cases the appearance of SSHOs in the brain has been linked to distinct physiological conditions or states of arousal (Näsi et al, 2011).…”
