Gamma Oscillations in Humans

Gamma oscillations in human electroencephalographic signals are defined by their frequency range, from 20 Hz up to 100 Hz. Different types of oscillations are related to arousal states, early sensory processes, and neural mechanisms of sensory or cognitive binding by oscillatory synchronization. Keywords: binding; synchronization; EEG; MEG; temporal code
