• Extensive supplementary notes make it accessible to the general academic reader but also engaging for neuroscientists
• Builds a strong argument from both theory and research for how the brain's rhythms are essential to human cognition

Readership: Neuroscience researchers and neurologists and physiologists with a special interest in the brain

György Buzsáki, Board of Governors Professor, Center for Molecular and Behavioural Neuroscience, Rutgers University, USA

"The book is a "must read" for anyone interested in understanding the functioning of large and complex brain circuits." - Nature, Vol 446,

"This wonderful book seamlessly cycles between experimental results and theoretical concepts. It begins with an introduction to many topics related to brain rhythms, such as neuronal anatomy, physiology and the physics of self-organised systems...[it's] a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the functioning of large and complex brain circuits." - Nature, Vol 446
