Information processing in the brain is governed by oscillatory activity. Activity oscillations in specific frequency bands (theta, alpha, beta and gamma) have been associated with various cognitive functions. A drawback of this is that the plethora of findings led to considerable uncertainty as to the functional relevance of activity in different frequency bands and their interrelation. In this talk, I use a novel theoretical framework from Cognitive Psychology, namely the BRAC framework (for Binding and Retrieval in Action Control; Frings et al., 2020) to better understand and conceptually harmonize neurophysiological research on human action control. The BRAC framework can systematize and summarizes research on action control across experimental paradigms and thus build a promising starting point for probably reframing the functional relevance of oscillatory activity relevant for action control.
