Brain Function and Oscillations: Integrative Brain Function, Neurophysiology and Cognitive Processes

A treatment of the functional importance of the brain's multiple oscillations. According to the author, neurophysiology and cognition demand integrative approaches similar to those of Galilei and Newton in physics and of Darwin in biology. He looks not only at the human brain, but also at 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 function leads to a neuron assemblies doctrine, extending the concept of Sherrington.
