  "summary": "Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) has been proposed as a mechanism for separating neural representations in time. Although item-specific PAC has been reported, its role in perception remains unclear. Notably, previous work has shown that theta phase can bias perception, raising the question whether such biases are linked to phase-specific gamma activity. Here, we investigated whether…",
