Theta-Gamma Coding Meets Communication-through-Coherence: Neuronal Oscillatory Multiplexing Theories Reconciled
Fig 1
Comparative illustration of multiplexing theories.
A. Consider a simple scene comprising 3 discrete objects of different saliency. B. LJ-multiplexing. Multiple Items are processed across consecutive fast cycles in decreasing order of saliency, and this sequence is repeated over slow oscillatory cycles. Note that items of low saliency may not be processed at all. C. F-multiplexing. Within any given slow cycle, only a single item is represented, repeated across multiple fast cycles. Across slow cycles, the represented item may switch, due to changes in the stimulus or top-down attentional mechanisms altering relative stimulus saliency.
