    Principles of gamma synchrony predict figure–ground perception in texture stimuli

    Maryam Karimian, Mark Jonathan Roberts ... Mario Senden
    Principles of weakly coupled oscillators capture human figure-ground segregation and its training-induced enhancement, indicating gamma synchrony remains a plausible grouping mechanism.

    Stimulus dependencies—rather than next-word prediction—can explain pre-onset brain encoding in naturalistic listening designs

    Inés Schönmann, Jakub Szewczyk ... Micha Heilbron
    The ability to predict brain activity from words before they occur can be explained by information shared between neighbouring words, without requiring next-word prediction by the brain.

    Translational control in the spinal cord regulates gene expression and pain hypersensitivity in the chronic phase of neuropathic pain

    Kevin C Lister, Calvin Wong ... Arkady Khoutorsky
    Spinal translational control mechanisms regulate gene expression and nociceptive circuit sensitization during the chronic phase of neuropathic pain.

    Challenges in replay detection by TDLM in post-encoding resting state

    Simon Kern, Juliane Nagel ... Gordon B Feld
    Detecting replay during longer time periods (e.g. resting state or sleep) with temporally delayed linear modeling (TDLM) requires biologically implausible event densities, and purely synthetic simulations substantially overestimate the method's sensitivity.

    The dominance of large-scale phase dynamics in human cortex, from delta to gamma

    David M Alexander, Laura Dugué
    The phase of cortical activity, measured in the gray matter, is organized at multiple spatial scales, with the largest scales explaining most variance in phase at a given temporal frequency.
