Possible neural oscillatory mechanisms underlying learning

Abstract

In response to Voelker et al. (this issue), we argue for a wide array of neural oscillatory mechanisms underlying learning and practice. While the authors propose frontal theta power as the basis for learning-induced neuro- plasticity, we believe that the temporal dynamics of other frequency bands, together with their synchroni- zation properties can offer a fuller account of the neu- rophysiological changes occurring in the brain during cognitive tasks.
