Atthe same time, brain activity can be tuned to become an ideal observer of the environment, due to an organized system of rhythms. The specific physiological functions of brain rhythms vary from the obvious to the utterly impenetrable. A simple but persuasive example is walking. Bipedal walking is a periodic series of forward falls interrupted regularly by alternate extensions of each leg. It is almost as natural to us as breathing. This effortless exercise is made possible by the predictive nature of spinal cord oscillators. On smooth terrain, the alternation of leg movements can take us any distance. Perturbation of the clocking, on the other hand, signals a change in the terrain. This general mechanism is the same in all animals, including eight-legged scorpions and centipedes. The notion that oscillators or “central pattern generators”1 are responsible for the coordination of motor  \n1. Neural circuits that produce self-sustaining patterns of behavior are called central pattern generators. The most studied central pattern generator is an intraspinal network of neurons responsible for locomotion. Grillner (1985) summarizes the pros and cons of the pacemaker view of central pattern generators in the spinal cord and brain. Stein et al. (1997) and Burke (2001) are nice updates on the topic. Central pattern generators are also responsible for many other types of rhythmic movements, e.g., peristaltic motor patterns of legless animals, rhythmic movement of the wings of crickets during song production, respiration, heart control, movements of the stomach, and other parts of the digestive system. My favorite review on this topic is Marder and Calabrese (1996) .  \nviii Prelude  \npatterns, such as breathing and walking, is old and well accepted in neuroscience. But the tantalizing conjecture that neuronal oscillators can be exploited for a plethora of other brain-generated functions, including cognition, is quite new and controversial.
