This lecture by the instructor focuses on the idea that slow cortical oscillations in the frontal cortex may act as a 'gearbox' in the brain, coordinating multiple networks. The discussion delves into the coordination of neural activity and cognitive processes, exploring how slow rhythms impact executive functions. The lecture presents research findings on enhancing brain activity through stimulation and its effects on memory processes. It also covers studies on healthy aging and cognitive control, as well as investigations into the voluntary control of prioritizing information in different brain hemispheres.
