by W. J. Freeman These two volumes on "Brain Oscillations" appear
at a most opportune time. As the "Decade of the Brain" draws to its
close, brain science is coming to terms with its ultimate problem:
understanding the mechanisms by which the immense number of neurons
in the human brain interact to produce the higher cognitive
functions. The ideas, concepts, methods, interpretations and
examples, which are presented here in voluminous detail by a
world-class authority in electrophysiology, summarize the
intellectual equipment that will be required to construct
satisfactory solutions to the problem. Neuroscience is ripe for
change. The last revolution of ideas took place in the middle of
the century now ending, when the field took a sharp turn into a
novel direction. During the preceding five decades the prevailing
view, carried forward from the 19th century, was that neurons are
the carriers of nerve energy, either in chemical or electrical
forms (Freeman, 1995). That point of view was enormously productive
in terms of coming to understand the chemical basis for synaptic
transmission, the electrochemistry of the ac tion potential, the
ionic mechanisms of membrane currents and gates, the functional
neuroanatomy that underlies the hierarchy of reflexes, and the
neural fields and'their resonances that support Gestalt phenomena.
No bet ter testimony can be given of the power of the applications
of this approach than to point out that it provides the scientific
basis for contemporary neu rology, neuropsychiatry, and brain
imaging."
