OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The concepts for neuronal coding during short-term or working memory have recently been challenged by observations that do no longer support an exclusive role of sustained firing in maintaining information. We have studied alternative neural signals like LFP oscillations and higher order spike synchronization which reveal interesting options for engaging cortical circuitry in the maintenance of information about stimuli in short-term memory. I will discuss our findings in the light of multiple oscillatory rhythms and measures of global system dynamics which may serve as coordinating principles of memory processes.
