frequency that characterizes these frontoparietal interactions also incorporates interactions with medial frontal (ACC) and oculomotor (FEF) circuits. In a recent study, it has been shown that beta-band synchrony is involved in cognitive and motor control during gait adaptation47. This report is in line with our findings suggesting the involvement of the ACC-FEF beta-band synchronization in sensorimotor mapping. Furthermore, interareal beta synchrony is suggested to be enhanced with selective attention202728. We observed increased beta synchrony both in the delay period of the memory-guided saccade task and the preparatory period of the anti-saccade task. These findings suggest that the increased cognitive and attention demands of the tasks could underlie increased beta-band synchronization between these areas. It will be an important task for future studies to characterize the extent and distribution of such a putative large-scale beta frequency band network and to disentangle the information carried in frequency-specific coupling in such a beta network when compared to the network of brain areas that synchronize at theta frequency band7.
