The brain relies on communication between specialized cortical areas to accomplish complex cognitive tasks. To understand this ability of the brain, we need a deeper understanding of information transfer across cortical areas. There are two leading hypotheses for communication between cortical areas: 1) The communication through coherence (CTC) hypothesis posits that coherent oscillations between source and target populations of neurons are required for information propagation. 2) The information transmission via communication subspace (CS) hypothesis, recently introduced by Semedo et al., adv
