Theta, alpha and gamma traveling waves in a multi-item working memory model
Brain oscillations are believed to be involved in the different operations necessary to manipulate information during working memory tasks. We propose a modular variant of the Lisman-Idiart model for short-term memory, where theta, alpha and gamma oscillations are traveling waves. Using this model we show that the interactions between theta and gamma determine the allocation of multiple information in distinct modules, while the interference between theta and alpha disrupts the maintenance of current stored information. The effect of alpha in erasing or blocking storage is robust and seems fairly independent of the frequency, as long as it stays within the alpha range. The model help us to understand why the alpha and theta oscillations, which have close frequency bands, could have opposite roles in working memory.

Pricing European Options under Stochastic Volatility Models: Case of five-Parameter Variance-Gamma Process
The paper builds a Variance-Gamma (VG) model with five parameters: location ($\mu$), symmetry ($\delta$), volatility ($\sigma$), shape ($\alpha$), and scale ($\theta$); and studies its application to the pricing of Europ…
Temporal-lobe Epilepsy: Harmonic and Anharmonic Periodicity in Microeletrode Voltage
Temporal-lobe epilepsy in humans is often associated with widespread, synchronized neuron firing that co-occurs with traveling waves in local field potential. These traveling waves generate stochastic oscillations in a t…

The problems of detecting and recovering planted structures/subgraphs in Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs, have received significant attention over the past three decades, leading to many exciting results and mathematic…
Proportional Representation in Metric Spaces and Low-Distortion Committee Selection
We introduce a novel definition for a small set R of k points being "representative" of a larger set in a metric space. Given a set V (e.g., documents or voters) to represent, and a set C of possible representatives, our…
