Gamma Oscillations of Spiking Neural Populations Enhance Signal Discrimination

Selective attention is an important filter for complex environments where distractions compete with signals. Attention increases both the gamma-band power of cortical local field potentials and the spike-field coherence within the receptive field of an attended object. However, the mechanisms by whi...
