Rhythms of consciousness: binocular rivalry reveals large-scale oscillatory network dynamics mediating visual perception.

PLoS One July 3, 2009 Sam M Doesburg, Jessica J Green, John J McDonald et al.

Consciousness has been proposed to emerge from functionally integrated large-scale ensembles of gamma-synchronous neural populations that form and dissolve at a frequency in the theta band. We propose that discrete moments of perceptual experience are implemented by transient gamma-band synchronization of relevant cortical regions, and that disintegration and reintegration of these assemblies...
