“…This "nesting" of oscillations has been shown to occur in both humans and animals (Jensen and Colgin, 2007;McGinn and Valiante, 2014), and to relate to various task-related processes (Canolty et al, 2006), including perception (Händel and Haarmeier, 2009;Voytek et al, 2010;Gross et al, 2013), cognitive control (Cohen et al, 2009;Dürschmid et al, 2013), memory (Sauseng et al, 2008;Tort et al, 2009;Axmacher et al, 2010;Belluscio et al, 2012), and emotional processing (Popov et al, 2012). Crossfrequency coupling has also been related to spontaneous activity during sleep (Cox et al, 2014) and "default-mode" resting state (Foster and Parvizi, 2012). In general, cross-frequency coupling is proposed to reflect a common, fundamental principle of how neurophysiological processes in the brain can be temporally organized across different frequency bands (Lisman, 2005;Canolty and Knight, 2010), and thus, different time scales.…”
