The findings support a model suggesting that the brain uses high-frequency oscillations to incorporate new information while existing memories and control processes are maintained by low-frequency oscillations.

@ekmiller Do the latter processes have a longer time-scale, ie last longer than the former? Longer I mean minutes and longer. Or does that make no sense at all?
@MolemanPeter. Lower frequency oscillations have a wider spatial extent. They can affect larger groups of neurons than higher frequencies. That's why we think alpha/beta are top-down control signals.
