摘要
The present paper provides three interwoven or interrelated approaches: (1) the dependence of frontal theta response from the spontaneous activity will be pointed out. This helps in understanding that 'frontal theta' is a major oscillation of the human frontal cortex and has a response-controlling function; (2) it will be shown that complex stimulations such as bimodal stimulation enhances the theta response; and by bringing together the results outlined in a number of previous reviews the so-called 'selectively distributed theta system of the brain' is described.
