OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, 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.
