Targeting high frequency oscillations in epilepsy

Human brain oscillations organize across multiple temporal scales that can be measured directly with EEG. Once considered inessential epiphenomena, recent work has highlighted cortical oscillations as primary phenomena that cause and direct essential brain processes. Pioneering work has shown that brain rhythms can be augmented by external manipulation with direct cognitive impact. For example, auditory enhancement of slow wave oscillations during NREM sleep improves declarative memory (Ngo et al., 2013).
