  • Coupling between the phase of a neural oscillation or bodily rhythm with behavior: Evaluation of different statistical procedures

    2021, NeuroImage
    Citation Excerpt :

    Phase has been also been related to other types of behavior such as reaction time (Callaway and Yeager, 1960; Dustman and Beck, 1965), decision-making (Wyart et al., 2012), visual search performance (Dugué et al., 2015) or auditory discrimination (Kayser et al., 2016; McNair et al., 2019). The timing of eye movements depends on brain alpha phase (Drewes and VanRullen, 2011; Gaarder et al., 1966; Hamm et al., 2012; Staudigl et al., 2017). Finally, the phase of various oscillatory bodily signals, such as the cardiac cycle, the gastric rhythm, or respiration, also influences both neural activity and behavior (for reviews, see Azzalini et al., 2019; Garfinkel and Critchley, 2016; Tort et al., 2018).

  • Neuronal response gain enhancement prior to microsaccades

    2015, Current Biology
    Citation Excerpt :

    These fluctuations happen independently of attentional task requirements and only get reset by attentional cues. Since cues reset microsaccadic rhythms [19, 39], and since microsaccades themselves reset brain fluctuations [39] (probably through the pre- and post-motor changes we report here), synchrony between microsaccades and attentional modulations is expected [24]. Importantly, such synchrony suggests that a saccadic-rhythmicity model only employing pre-microsaccadic sensitivity changes is sufficient to generate “attentional capture” and “IOR” in Posner cueing (X. Tian, M. Yoshida, and Z.M.H., unpublished data; data not shown).
