Brain mechanisms of visual selective attention involve both local and network-level activity changes at specific oscillatory rhythms, but their interplay remains poorly explored. Here, we investigate anticipatory and reactive effects of feature-based attention using separate fMRI and EEG recordings, while participants attended to one of two spatially overlapping visual features (motion and orientation). We focused on EEG source analysis of local neuronal rhythms and nested oscillations and on graph analysis of connectivity changes in a network of fMRI-defined regions of interest, and characterized a cascade of attentional effects at multiple spatial scales. We discuss how the results may reconcile several theories of selective attention, by showing how β rhythms support anticipatory information routing through increased network efficiency, while reactive α-band desynchronization patterns and increased α-γ coupling in task-specific sensory areas mediate stimulus-evoked processing of task-relevant signals.

Nested sleep oscillations, emerging from asynchronous states in coordinated bursts, are critical for memory consolidation. Whether these bursts emerge intrinsically or from an underlying rhythm is unknown. Here, we show a previously undescribed respiratory-driven oscillation in the human hippocampus that couples with cardinal sleep oscillations.

We report the peculiar organization of oscillations in the forced Brusselator system, found in the parameter space as a nested structure of regular and chaotic phases. To this end, we apply the winding number concept, conceived for nonlinear driven oscillators, to expose all oscillatory phases in the nested structure. First, we use the period and torsion of orbits to describe every periodic oscillation in the parameter spaces, describing the nested structure in high-resolution phase diagrams.

Neural development leads to the evolution of electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics during the third trimester of gestation. Theta activity in coalescence with slow waves (TA-SW) and delta brushes (DB) are key clinical neurobiomarkers in the evaluation of neurodevelopment in infants prior to full-term gestation. Both neurobiomarkers exhibit nested oscillations, a key feature of intrinsic spontaneous oscillatory activity, allowing the investigation of neural interaction development in the underlying circuits.

Unlabelled: Elevational gradients in alpine ecosystems are well suited to study how plant and pollinator communities respond to climate change. In the Austrian Alps, we tested how the taxonomic and functional diversity of plants and their pollinators change with increasing elevation and how this affects plant-pollinator network structure. We measured the phenotypes of flowering plants and their pollinators and observed their interactions in 24 communities along an elevational gradient.

However, it is challenging to increase their output power. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is a major bottleneck in scaling the power of Tm-doped fiber lasers operating at short wavelengths.
