Abstract
This chapter discusses neural mass models and EEG rhythms. We start with a simple model, adding additional components step-by-step, eventually resulting in coupled neural masses that simulate a physiological EEG rhythm with a peak frequency in the 8–13 Hz ( α ) frequency range. While this chapter focuses on physiology, we will learn in later chapters that neural mass models also find applications in furthering our understanding of pathological EEG patterns as present during seizures or anoxia.
