This is a useful tool to explore brain behavior, as it complements imaging techniques that have a poorer temporal resolution. We here approach the understanding of EEG data from first principles by numerical simulating and studying a networked model of excitatory and inhibitory neurons which generates a variety of comparable waves. In fact, we thus numerically reproduce oscillatory behavior similar to alpha, beta, gamma and other rhythms as observed by EEG recordings, and identify the details of the respectively involved complex phenomena, including a precise relationship between an input and the collective response to it. It ensues the potentiality of our model to better understand actual brain oscillatory activity in normal and pathological situations, and we also describe kind of stochastic resonance phenomena which could be useful to locate main qualitative changes of brain activity in (e.g.) humans.
