Attentional tracking reduces cortical alpha oscillations [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe premotor theory of attention suggests that both overt and covert attentional orienting are governed by similar mechanisms and neural structures, a concept extensively investigated in paradigms involving shifts in attention and gaze towards peripheral

Beyond pulsed inhibition: Alpha oscillations modulate attenuation and amplification of neural activity in the awake resting state [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Alpha oscillations are a distinctive feature of the awake resting state of the human brain. However, their functional role in resting-state neuronal dynamics remains poorly understood.

Alpha-band rhythms in visual task performance: phase-locking by rhythmic sensory stimulation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Oscillations are an important aspect of neuronal activity. Interestingly, oscillatory patterns are also observed in behaviour, such as in visual performance measures after the presentation of a brief sensory event in the visual or another modality. These

Modulation of Somatosensory Alpha Rhythm by Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation at Mu-Frequency [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Introduction: Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is emerging as an interventional tool to modulate different functions of the brain, potentially by interacting with intrinsic ongoing neuronal oscillations.

Slowed alpha oscillations and percept formation in psychotic psychopathology [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2023 IntroductionPsychosis is in part defined by disturbances in perception. Recent investigations have implicated the speed of alpha oscillations observed in brain electrical activity as reflective of a sampling rate of the visual environment and perception.

Neurofeedback and attention modulate somatosensory alpha oscillations but not pain perception. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyPain is closely linked to alpha oscillations (8 < 13 Hz) which are thought to represent a supra-modal, top-down mediated gating mechanism that shapes sensory processing.

Precise spatial tuning of visually driven alpha oscillations in human visual cortex [PDF]
eLifeNeuronal oscillations at about 10 Hz, called alpha oscillations, are often thought to arise from synchronous activity across the occipital cortex and are usually largest when the cortex is inactive.

Somatosensory alpha oscillations gate perceptual learning efficiency [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Alpha power is known to play an important role in cognition and perception, but we do not understand the link between alpha power and perceptual learning efficacy.

Object-based attentional selection modulates anticipatory alpha oscillations [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 Visual cortical alpha oscillations are involved in attentional gating of incoming visual information. It has been shown that spatial and feature-based attentional selection result in increased alpha oscillations over the cortical regions representing ...
