Notes

1 Lakatos et al., Citation2019

Entrainment by inputs conveying internally generated information streams like connected memories or ‘trains of thought’ is also conceivable. While we acknowledge that the existence of this form of internal entrainment is highly speculative, there is some evidence that it does occur. (p. R892)

2 Obleser & Kayser, Citation2019

However results from clever stimulus manipulations show that entrainment can also be shaped by high-level linguistic processes and may not require such low-level acoustic regularities, a case in which the neural signal may be oscillatory but the stimulus not. (p. 922)

3 Rimmele et al., Citation2018

Temporal predictions (periodic, aperiodic) operate upon endogenous constraints by predictively aligning neuronal excitability in time to facilitate the processing of anticipated events. Top-down influences correspond to an anticipatory phase reset (originating from higher-level processes; not directly driven by low-level stimulus features) of ongoing oscillations in those neuronal subpopulations involved in the processing of the expected event (e.g. beat or syllable). (p. 875)
