Coherent brain oscillations

[John Shaw <crosley@TCP.CO.UK>]

     As other people hav not respected Dr. Goldberg's request
     for personal replies, I am posting a part of my reply to
     him as it may provoke some discussion:

     The intriguing aspect of the brain macro oscillations is
     that they are continually being related to brain
     function and cognitive activity. But on the other hand
     brain function is increasingly associated with a
     dispersed parallel distribution of functional elements.
     It is likely that huge numbers of neurons are involved
     in such dispersed functional activity. If the macro
     oscillations can be so easily influenced by external
     intervention, how can they be related to the subtleties
     of content and of temporal variability and timing of
     cognition? Macro oscillations must be a manifestation of
     lower order events. John Shaw
