Abstract:
We find conditions for optimal phase coherence among sums of phase-offset sine wave pairs of two frequencies, e.g., gamma and alpha. Optimal phase coherence occurs when the respective phase offsets match. Then, using stochastic rate models instead of firing models for both cortical and pulvinar activity, we show that for roughly matching phase offsets of alpha and gamma oscillations there is optimal phase coherence and information transmission between modelled cortical regions.

Suppose Vin is the input and Vout is the output signal to a circuit.
Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
