Low-frequency phase in early visual cortex gates prefrontal influence on perception
Nature ·
The Brief
- The study examines low-frequency phase activity in early visual cortex.
- It reports that this phase gates how much prefrontal cortex influences perception.
Why it matters
It suggests that the timing of low-frequency brain activity in early visual areas can control how strongly higher-order prefrontal regions shape what we perceive, which is relevant to how perception is modelled.
