Synchronization hypothesis on the brain computation:
What has been proved and what should be elucidated

Abstract
The importance of oscillations in the brain has been
discussed
experimentally and theoretically in these decades. The
author
theoretically proposed synchronization oscillation hypothesis
first in
sensory-memory matching process of visual recognition and extended
it to
theta rhythm (4~12 Hz) in hippocampus memory system. In both
cases,
synchronization enables real-time network coordination for real-
time
computing in novel environments, while the computational
theory of
brain-type intelligence is still unclear. Recent
results of
synchronization networks obtained by authors with simultaneous EEG/
fMRI
measurements indicate different functional roles of different
frequency
oscillations. In this talk, various frequency oscillations in
various
cognitive roles are summarized and discussed for further
comprehensive
understanding of the computational roles of synchronization
in the
brain.
Keywords
Brain computation, synchronization hypothesis.
