The paper entitled Selective entrainment of brain oscillations drives auditory perceptual organization, co-authored by Jordi Costa-Faidella, Elyse Sussman and Carles Escera has been published online in Neuroimage. In this study, we address how humans, while facing ambiguous soundscapes perceive unitary multistable organizations. Our results show that brain oscillations concurrently entrain to the rate of all competing […]
