Extended Data Fig. 10: Hypothesized relations between traveling wave (TW) direction and memory processes.
From: The direction of theta and alpha travelling waves modulates human memory processing
When presented with a list of words during an episodic memory task, successful memory encoding more likely when waves propagated in the preferred encoding direction, as opposed to the opposite direction, characterized as the preferred recall direction. We hypothesize that preferred encoding and preferred recall TW propagation may reflect more general neural processes including feedforward and feedbackward cortical processing, respectively.
