Theta and beta synchrony coordinate frontal eye fields and anterior cingulate cortex during sensorimotor mapping

Frontal eye fields (FEF) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are coactivated during cognitive tasks, but the precise format of their interaction is not known. Here the authors show that phase coupling between ACC -FEF in theta and beta frequency bands better predicts behavioural performance.
