Frontal theta as a mechanism for cognitive control

Frontal theta as a mechanism for cognitive control

Highlights • Frontal theta is a candidate biophysical mechanism for cognitive control. • Frontal midline theta reflects a canonical computation of the need for control. • The implementation of control may emerge from intersite theta-phase synchrony. • The information content of frontal theta can be...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Frontal theta is a candidate biophysical mechanism for cognitive control. • Frontal midline theta reflects a canonical computation of the need for control. • The implementation of control may emerge from intersite theta-phase synchrony. • The information content of frontal theta can be derived using computational models.
