Convergence of Action, Reaction, and Perception via Neural Oscillations in Dynamic Interaction with External Surroundings

Abstract

There has been a considerable interest in the role of time-dimension in functions of the brain, which has been limited to time perception and timing of behavior. However, during past few years it has become increasingly clear that the role of the time-dimension includes other complex cognitive functions, such as motor control of a vehicle, sensory perception and processing imageries to name a few. Role of the accurate representation of time-dimension is important for several neural mechanisms, which include temporal coupling, coincidence detection, and processing of Shannon information. These mecha- nisms play key roles in processing information during the interaction of the brain with the physical surroundings.
