Modelling neural entrainment and its persistence: influence of frequency of stimulation and phase at the stimulus offset

Using a modified Jansen-Rit neural mass model, we investigated the dynamics of neural entrainment in the period that follows the end of the stimulation, since the persistence (reverberation) of neural entrainment may condition future sensory representations based on predictions about stimulus rhythmicity. The study bridges between models of neural oscillations and empirical electrophysiology, providing insights to the mechanisms underlying neural entrainment and the use of rhythmic sensory stimulation for neuroenhancement.
