It has been hypothesized that visual objects could be represented
in the brain by a distributed cell assembly synchronized on an
oscillatory mode in the -band (20-80 Hz). If this hypothesis is
correct, then oscillatory -band activity should appear in any task
requiring the activation of an object representation, and in particular
when an object representation is held active in short-term memory:
sustained -band activity is thus expected during the delay of a
delayed-matching-to-sample task. EEG was recorded while subjects
performed such a task. Induced (e.g., appearing with a jitter in
latency from one trial to the next) -band activity was observed
during the delay. In a control task, in which no memorization was
required, this activity disappeared. Furthermore, this -band
activity during the rehearsal of the first stimulus representation in
short-term memory peaked at both occipitotemporal and frontal
electrodes. This topography fits with the idea of a synchronized
cortical network centered on prefrontal and ventral visual areas.
Activities in the band, in the 15-20 Hz band, and in the averaged
evoked potential were also analyzed. The -band activity during the
delay can be distinguished from all of these other components of the
response, on the basis of either its variations or its topography. It
thus seems to be a specific functional component of the response that
could correspond to the rehearsal of an object representation in
short-term memory.
Key words:

short-term memory; delayed-matching-to-sample task; vision; human; EEG
