Differences in visually induced MEG oscillations reflect differences in deep cortical layer activity

Abstract

Pinotsis and Miller present a simplified neural mass model for estimating the laminar dynamics that contribute to non-invasively recorded time frequency data. Using two independent MEG datasets, they give evidence for deep cortical layers contributing to inter-individual variability in visually induced oscillations. Their study links non-invasive brain imaging data, laminar dynamics and top-down control.
