Abstract
Nature loves to oscillate. Ongoing oscillations of a wide range of periods are familiar in animals, from the circannual, circalunar and circadian, to the so-called minute rhythms of Galambos and Makeig (1988), from the respiratory, cardiac, and EEG rhythms of delta, theta and alpha frequencies, to the 40 Hz cerebral, 200 Hz cerebellar, and the medullary pacemakers of electric organ discharges in certain electric fish which run at 1000–2000 Hz, night and day. In addition, many living systems — or parts of them — love to show event-related oscillation. The gamma band of frequencies is popular from invertebrates to mammals, especially for transient oscillations, such as event-related rhythms, which have recently come to prominence and have been called induced rhythms in a recent book of that title (Basar and Bullock 1992).
