Abstract
Cerebral oscillation is a neurophysiological phenomenon related to cerebral rhythmic activity that reflects neural activity. It changes depending on oscillatory frequency, reflecting various brain functions including sensory, motor, and language functions. These oscillatory changes are used as decoding features of brain-machine interfaces. Recently, it has become clear that these oscillations in the different frequency bands are synchronized with each other. This phenomenon is called cross-frequency coupling. We propose a hypothetical model: brain networks have a low-frequency oscillatory property and high γ activity in local circuits that are modulated by cross-frequency coupling between the phase of the low-frequency oscillation of the brain network and the amplitude of the high γ activity of local circuits.
