The role of alpha oscillations in resisting distraction

Trends in Cognitive Sciences
The role of alpha oscillations (8-13 Hz) in suppressing distractors is extensively debated. One debate concerns whether alpha oscillations suppress anticipated visual distractors through increased power. Whereas some studies suggest that alpha oscillations support distractor suppression, others do not.

The development of theta and alpha neural oscillations from ages 3 to 24 years

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2021
Intrinsic, unconstrained neural activity exhibits rich spatial, temporal, and spectral organization that undergoes continuous refinement from childhood through adolescence.

Experimental placebo analgesia changes resting-state alpha oscillations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The lack of clear understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic pain could explain why we currently have only a few effective treatments. Understanding how pain relief is realised during placebo analgesia could help develop improved treatments for ...

Different sustained and induced alpha oscillations emerge in the human auditory cortex during sound processing [PDF]

Communications Biology
Alpha oscillations in the auditory cortex have been associated with attention and the suppression of irrelevant information. However, their anatomical organization and interaction with other neural processes remain unclear. Do alpha oscillations function

Mechanistic role of alpha oscillations in a computational model of working memory. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Brain oscillations are believed to be involved in the different operations necessary to manipulate information during working memory tasks. We propose a mechanistic role for the observed inhibition effect of the alpha rhythm based on its interference ...

Saccades are locked to the phase of alpha oscillations during natural reading. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2023
We saccade 3 to 5 times per second when reading. However, little is known about the neuronal mechanisms coordinating the oculomotor and visual systems during such rapid processing.

Exploring the correlation and causation between alpha oscillations and one-second time perception through EEG and tACS [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Alpha oscillations have been implicated in time perception, yet a consensus on their precise role remains elusive. This study directly investigates this relationship by examining the impact of alpha oscillations on time perception.

Alpha Oscillations Shape Sensory Representation and Perceptual Sensitivity [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021
Alpha activity (8–14 Hz) is the dominant rhythm in the awake brain and is thought to play an important role in setting the internal state of the brain. Previous work has associated states of decreased alpha power with enhanced neural excitability. However, evidence is mixed on whether and how such excitability enhancement modulates sensory signals of ...

Event-related modulation of alpha rhythm explains the auditory P300-evoked response in EEG

eLife, 2023
Evoked responses and oscillations represent two major electrophysiological phenomena in the human brain yet the link between them remains rather obscure.

Spontaneous Alpha-Band Oscillations Bias Subjective Contrast Perception [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021
AbstractPerceptual decisions depend both on the features of the incoming stimulus and on the ongoing brain activity at the moment the stimulus is received. Specifically, trial-to-trial fluctuations in cortical excitability have been linked to fluctuations in the amplitude of pre-stimulus alpha oscillations (≈8-13 Hz), which are in turn are associated ...
