Abstract
Sensory stimulation at certain frequencies was shown to elicit EEG and MEG (MagnetoEncephaloGraphic) responses persisting longer than one second after the stimulation. Such responses have been described as a consequence of a process of synchronization of bioelectrical spontaneous activities in the brain with a specific frequency content, but otherwise uncorrelated (Narici et a1 1987a).
