Attentional selection through selective neuronal synchronization

Neuronal synchronization is pervasive in our nervous system and has been implicated in numerous functions. Yet to fulfill any function, it must have consequences for neuronal processing. I will demonstrate that synchronization profoundly modulates neuronal interactions, and that this mechanism subserves attentional selection and long-term memory encoding. While synchronization emerges from the interactions of neurons, it also affects those interactions, and thereby shapes our behavior.
