Predictive visuo-motor communication through neural oscillations.

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms coordinating action and perception over time are poorly understood. The sensory cortex needs to prepare for upcoming changes contingent on action, and this requires temporally precise communication that takes into account the variable delays between sensory and motor processing. Several theorists^1,2 have proposed synchronization of the endogenous oscillatory activity observed in most regions of the brain³ as the basis for an efficient and flexible communication protocol between distal brain areas,^2,4 a concept known as "communication through coherence." Synchronization of endogenous oscillations^5,6 occurs after a salient sensory stimulus, such as a flash or a sound,<
