Abstract

Event-related synchronization and desynchronization (ERS/ERD) are well-known features found experimentally in brain signals during cognitive tasks. Their understanding promises to have much better insights into neural information processes in cognition. Under the hypothesis that neural information affects the endogenous neural noise level in populations, we propose to employ a stochastic mean-field model to explain ERS/ERD in the γ-frequency range. The work extends previous mean-field studies by deriving novel effects from finite network size. Moreover, numerical simulations of ERS/ERD and their analytical explanation by the mean-field model suggest several endogenous noise modulation schemes, which may modulate the system's synchronization.
