Wavelet analysis of EEG signals as a tool for the investigation of the time architecture of cognitive processes

Cognitive processes heavily rely on a dedicated spatio-temporal architecture of the underlying neural system - the brain. The spatial aspect is substantiated by the modularization as it has been brought to light in much detail by recent sophisticated neural imaging investigations. The time aspect is less well investigated although the role of time is prominent in several approaches to understanding the organization of the information processing in the brain. By way of example we mention (i) the synchronization hypothesis for the resolution of the binding problem, cf. [5] [4], [3] and the efforts to relate the information contained in observed spike rates back to the neuronal mechanisms underlying the cognitive event. In particular, in Refs. [1], [2] Amit et. al. tried to bridge the gap between the Miyashita data [10] and the hypothesis that associative memory is realized by the (strange) attractor states of dynamical systems.
