title: Stay focussed - muffle that resonant bass!
abstract: Increased rhythmic brain activity in the high frequency range and decreased rhythmic activity in the low frequency range is a hallmark of cognitive function and ability. A novel study links these findings to the cholinergic theory of attention, demonstrating that attention-induced rebalancing of brain rhythms is augmented by acetylcholine.
