Fifty 8-month-old infants participated in a study of the interrelations among cognition, temperament, and electrophysiology. Better performance on a working memory task (assessed using a looking version of the A-not-B task) was associated with increases in frontal-parietal EEG coherence from baseline to task, as well as elevated levels of frontal-occipital coherence during both baseline and tas...

In some studies related to decision-making, it has been suggested that an energetic pathway for communications is formed between two objects that share the same resonance frequency. In sports, when a top team is playing at its best, it often seems as though its members are communicating on a level beyond that of spoken words, orchestrated by a form of collective coherence. Is there a pathway co...

The crosstalk between organs plays a crucial role in physiological processes. This coupling is dynamical process, it must cope with huge variety of rhythms frequencies ranging from milliseconds to hours, days, seasons. brain central hub for this crosstalk. During sleep, automatic rhythmic interrelations are enhanced and provide direct insight into organ dysfunctions, however their origin remain...

It has been postulated that selective temporal coordination between neurons and development of functional neuronal assemblies are fundamental for brain function and behavior. Still, there is little evidence that functionally relevant coordination emerges preferentially in neuronal assemblies directly controlling behavioral output. We investigated coherence between primary motor cortex and the d...

Gaze-following is a rudimentary behavior that forms the foundation of social communication, where aberrant social orienting is a defining feature of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD; Hoehl et al., 2009; Nummenmaa & Calder, 2009). Recent neuroimaging research has demonstrated increasing precision at identifying aberrant brain response patterns in individuals with ASD, but no studies have employed ...

Our brain continuously receives complex combinations of sounds originating from different sources and relating to different events in the external world. Timing differences between the two ears can be used to localize sounds in space, but only when the inputs to the two ears have similar spectrotemporal profiles (high binaural coherence). We used fMRI to investigate any modulation of auditory r...
