Abstract

The hypothesis that foci that are visualized with fMRI are signs of hubs rather than modules can be tested by combining hemodynamic imaging (Buxton, Introduction to functional magnetic resonance imaging: principles and techniques, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2001, [1]) with EEG imaging (Barlow, The electroencephalogram: its patterns and origins, MIT Press, Cambridge, 1993, [2], Pfurtscheller, Functional brain imaging. Hans Huber Publishers, Lewiston, 1988, [3]) and MEG (Hamalainen, JAMA, Rev Mod Phys 65:413–497, 1993, [4]). Experimental data indicate that the necessary macroscopic frames with beta-gamma carrier frequencies are readily found in human volunteers engaged in cognitive tasks by several research groups.
