Neural oscillations—also known as brain rhythms—are rhythmic patterns of neuronal activity that coordinate communication across different regions of the brain. These oscillations, ranging from slow delta waves to fast gamma waves, play a crucial role in perception, attention, memory, and consciousness. Understanding how oscillatory dynamics organize neural information provides key insights into both healthy brain function and neurological disorders.

The Neural Oscillations session focuses on the mechanisms, functions, and clinical significance of rhythmic brain activity. Researchers explore how oscillations emerge from network interactions and how synchronization across brain regions underpins cognitive processing. Abnormal oscillations have been linked to conditions such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, and depression, making them valuable biomarkers for diagnosis and intervention.

At the Neural Oscillations Conference, neuroscientists, electrophysiologists, and computational modelers share findings from EEG, MEG, and intracranial recordings that reveal how frequency-specific patterns guide neural communication. Discussions cover cross-frequency coupling, phase-amplitude modulation, and oscillatory coherence during cognition and sleep.

This session offers multidisciplinary perspectives combining neurophysiology, modeling, and neuroengineering. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how rhythmic coordination governs perception, learning, and memory, and how targeted modulation—through neurostimulation or pharmacotherapy—can restore neural balance.

Recent progress in Neural Signal Processing has advanced the detection and interpretation of brain rhythms, supporting real-time analysis in clinical and cognitive neuroscience applications.
