Beta frequency shifts in decision making: Spectral fingerprints or communication channels?

Year: 2025

Type: preprint

Abstract: as the relevant parameter. We argue that beta frequency shifts arise from changes in connectivity between weakly coupled oscillators and that, more than a spectral fingerprint, they reflect an active mechanism to (re-)activate behaviorally relevant communication channels in the brain.
