Brain oscillations and human memory: EEG correlates in the upper alpha and theta band.
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The results show that the upper alpha band is most sensitive to the encoding and processing of semantic information, and it is only the upperalpha band that distinguishes between good and bad semantic memory performers and that shows significant correlations with semantic memory performance during that time period, semantic processing actually takes place.
