  11. Y “Entrainment” phenomenon P • Are these oscillatory patterns immutable? O C T O N O D E Entrainment of endogenous oscillatory pattern  Changes in behaviour S • Oscillatory cycle establishes a recurrent temporal reference frame that allows for the A coding of temporal relations between groups of neural elements E • This reference frame is not fixed but is subject to dynamic changes (phase resetting), L especially in pathological states . P tACS induces entrainment of brain oscillations following the same principle (theta, alpha, beta, gamma, ..) Tuth et al. 2012, Current Biology
