Neuromagnetic measurements in the visual and somatosensory modalities reveal that, following repetitive stimulation, the brain persists in emitting synchronized after-discharges in the form of oscillations with highly specific spectral composition. In the visual modality, this rhythmic activity is centered at the frequency of the resting alpha rhythm and it is most readily induced by stimulation of the same frequency. This suggests that the phenomenon is due to synchronization of the generators responsible for the natural rhythms by the steady-state stimulation and that these generators behave as resonant oscillators. The phenomenon could then be referred to as Synchronized Spontaneous Activity (SSA). The discovery of this phenomenon has important implications for modelling the dynamics of normal evoked and spontaneous cerebral activity as well as for the understanding of pathological conditions such as photically induced epilepsies.
