Abstract
As we have seen in the previous chapters, various neural populations in the brain can generate coherent states in which oscillatory 10 Hz activity as well as theta activity is recorded. A light flash can elicit a 10 Hz enhancement in the brain if the brain shows a disordered activity prior to stimulation. We also can evoke a 40 Hz response with sharp onset light or acoustical stimulation and so on. At this point an important question is; Can we find a way to put the brain in such coherent states of EEG activity without external sensory stimulation? Can we find a sensory—cognitive task to produce coherent internal evoked potentials, or better, internal event-related oscillations?
