The view of brain oscillations driving (or even partially modulating) neural activity is further supported by research involving stimulating the brain using Alternating Currents [1] I'm currently doing my PhD on this topic, and it seems so far that targeting AC (with an entrained frequency) to various motor-related neural networks can actually enhance the motor skill and even motor learning.

Brain oscillations are quite phenomenal, and the causal role of these synchronisations still require further research.
