ABSTRACT
We have developed a neural network architecture that implements a theory of attention, learning, and communication based on adaptive synchronization of 5-15 Hz and 30-80 Hz oscillations between cortical areas[Baird et al., 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 [Jones et al., 1981] showing that auditory stream segregation depends on the rhythmic structure of inputs. Further references not cited here may be found in these papers.
