DESCRIPTION:Prof. Paul Sauseng\, Department of Psychology\, Ludwig-Maxim
 ilian-University Munich\, Germany\nDISTINGUISHED LECTURES in NEUROPROSTHET
 ICS\n\nDepending on which kind of information needs to be retained in work
 ing memory\, and dependent on what exact mental transformation this inform
 ation has to undergo\, different working memory sub-processes will be nece
 ssary. These sub-processes are supposed to be implemented within different
  cortical networks. But how are these networks coordinated? How is communi
 cation in one reinforced and coupling of another one reduced depending on 
 the task-requirements? Here I will provide a theoretical framework and emp
 irical data arguing that slow brain oscillations in the prefrontal cortex 
 – and specifically their phase to which fast frequency brain activity is
  locked - allow a simple and efficient mechanism by which fronto-parietal 
 brain networks can be dynamically coupled or desynchronized\, and hence\, 
 working memory processes can be coordinated. Electroencephalographic and c
 ombined EEG and non-invasive brain stimulation data from healthy participa
 nts\, elderly voluteers and psychiatric patients will be presented.\n\nBio
