ABSTRACT
We have developed a neural network cortical architecture that implements a theory of attention, learning, and communication between cortical areas by adaptive synchronization of 5-15 Hz and 30-80 Hz oscillations (pp 67-75 in "Advances In Neural Information Processing Systems 6", 1994). Here we present a specific model of rhythmic expectancy and the interaction of higher order and primary cortical levels of processing which accounts for the results of psychological experiments of Jones (pp 1059-1073 of the "Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance", 7, 1981) showing that auditory stream segregation depends on the rhythmic structure of inputs.
