Abstract
Electrophysiological oscillatory coherence between brain regions has been proposed to facilitate functional long‐range connectivity within neurocognitive networks. This notion is supported by intracortical recordings of coherence in singled‐out corticocortical connections in the primate cortex. However, the manner in which this operational principle manifests in the task‐sensitive connectivity that supports human naturalistic performance remains undercharacterized. Here, we demonstrate task‐sensitive reconfiguration of global patterns of coherent connectivity in association with a set of easier and more demanding naturalistic tasks, ranging from picture comparison to speech comprehension and object manipulation. Based on whole‐cortex neuromagnetic recording in healthy behaving individuals, the task‐sensitive component of long‐range corticocortical coherence was mapped at spectrally narrow‐band oscillatory frequencies between 6 and 20 Hz (theta to alpha and low‐beta bands).

Eero Saarinen's War Room
Fascinating exhibition examines the mid-century architect and designer's role in the nascent CIA
He's better known for his smoothly curved Tulip chairs, St Louis' Gateway Arch, or New York's JFK airport. However, Finnish-born American architect Eero Saarinen's war record apparently gave rise to some of mid-century design's oddest legacies, as can be seen at the traveling exhibition, Eero Saarinen: A Reputation for Innovation, currently on show at Los Angeles Architecture and Design Museum until January 3.
During World War II, Saarinen served a department chief in the OSS, the wartime precursor to the CIA. While he didn't carry a pen-gun, or tip truth serum into the mouths of SS officers, he did produce a remarkable amount of military material.
"Essentially, he oversaw all visual communication for the OSS," exhibition curator Mina Marefat tells the LA Weekly. "The OSS was competing with Hitler's prop

Alvar Aalto
Finnish architect and designer (–)
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (pronounced[ˈhuːɡoˈɑlʋɑrˈhenrikˈɑːlto]; 3 February – 11 May ) was a Finnish architect and designer.[1] His work includes architecture, furniture, textiles and glassware, as well as sculptures and paintings. He never regarded himself as an artist, seeing painting and sculpture as "branches of the tree whose trunk is architecture."[2] Aalto's early career ran in parallel with the rapid economic growth and industrialization of land i norden during the first half of the 20th century. Many of his clients were industrialists, among them the Ahlström-Gullichsen family, who became his patrons.[3] The span of his career, from the s to the s, fryst vatten reflected in the styles of his work, ranging from Nordic Classicism of the early work, to a rational International Style Modernism during the s to a more organic modernist style from the s onwards.
His architectural work, throughout his entir
