Figure Legend Snippet: Flexible oscillatory multiplexing and phase coding allows for processing single and multiple objects in different frames. left : wide attentional spotlight. A natural scene is composed of one or multiple objects. Here, you are watching your cat playing in the garden between trees. Both the trees and the cat are composed of several attributes like stem and crown (trees) or head and paws (cat). We suggest that each of those attributes is reflected on the neuronal level by distinct bursts of gamma band activity. Each burst thereby is tightly linked to a distinct phase of alpha band activity, whereby the respective features are “ranked” along alpha’s phase gradient, where attributes exerting higher neuronal activity (e.g., due to higher levels of saliency, attention, etc.) are processed earlier in the alpha phase, because they are able to overcome the pulsed inhibition earlier in the cycle. This mechanism would be at play for grouping (within an alpha cycle) the different elements of an object, while taking into account the specificity of each attribute. Similarly, each separate object in turn is coded along the theta/delta phase gradient (again depending on the level of excitation). Alternatively, this change of excitability could also be caused by saccadic eye movement itself. right : narrow attentional spotlight. If the focus of attention is more narrow (i.e., “zoomed in” attentional spotlight), we suggest that the frame of reference shifts, such that former attributes can become objects that are in turn composed of smaller attributes, allowing for a higher level of detail. Here, the focus of attention shifted towards the head of the cat, which is threatened by a predatory bird. In general, the same principles of phase coding apply, but now the level of detail has increased (i.e., the cat’s eyes become attributes and the cat’s head the object). Note that dynamic fluctuations are represented as sinusoidal oscillations only for illustrative purposes.
