Abstract: What happens in the brain when we pay attention to one stimulus — say tactile or visual — and ignore the others that are bombarding our senses? Individual neurons can fire at different rates, and thereby convey information to other neurons. But the degree of synchrony in the firing of groups of neurons may also matter, and this principle is implicated in the process of attention.
