| summary | Many theories of the brain postulate a role for neuronal oscillations in sensory perception and attention. But when we look around, the world appears unfalteringly continuous. Why doesn't our perception oscillate or flicker, if it is itself based on oscillatory neuronal mechanisms? In this talk, I will argue that our perception does oscillate after all; and I will show that this periodicity can be revealed using appropriate experimental manipulations – subtle psychophysical or electrophysiological measurements, as well as more dramatic demonstrations with illusions or even hallucinogenic drugs. |
