Beta bursts

Caption

Data from a 2018 study by the authors shows bursts of brain wave power (warmer colors) at gamma (higher) and beta (lower) frequencies during a working memory task. When beta bursts appear, there are no gamma bursts. But when stimuli (S1) and (S2) are presented, an absence of beta allows gamma bursts to encode the information.
