The magnitude of zero lag synchrony was primarily accounted for by the properties of the eigenmodes of the travelling LFP superposition waves generated by inputs to cortex, largely independent of the oscillation properties and associated spectral content.
Synchrony appears to be a ubiquitous property of cortex-like delay networks.
The significance of the experimental data now published on synchronous oscillation is very substantial, but remains controversial. Meantime, attempts to model the process must be selective. Some experimental aspects of synchronous oscillation appear reasonably clearly defined. Our object was to ascertain the minimal assumptions needed to reproduce the experimental data. The model's parameterisation is as of yet approximate, and physiological detail is incomplete, but these limitations are not relevant to the demonstrations we will report.
