Our new paper is out in @NatureNeuro How do large-scale brain networks route information about where/what to attend at fast timescales? High-frequency bursts facilitate fast communication for human spatial attention nature.com/articles/s41593-0… Using intracranial EEG recordings and spiking neural network modeling we demonstrate that transient bursts of high-frequency activity (HFAbs) in the human brain facilitate attentional performance and support fast, large-scale information routing. We show: - HFAbs are synchronized brain-wide. - HFAbs are strongly coupled to slower brain rhythms but transiently decouple during active processing, such as cue and target periods. - Network-level synchronization patterns of HFAbs reveal functional subnetworks for cue and target processing. - HFAbs in cue subnetworks predict behavioral accuracy following cue onset, and precede target subnetworks following target onset when cues are informative for target detection. - Using spiking neural network models, we show that HFAbs reflect state transitions in population activity, and a four-network model demonstrates attention-mediated fast HFAb communications enhances probability of target detection. We demonstrate that transient bursts of high-frequency activity (HFAbs) in the human brain facilitate attentional performance and support fast, large-scale information routing.
