Fluctuations in alpha and beta power provide neural states favourable for contextually relevant anticipatory processes

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 3450-3465, September 2023., 2023
Sensory disturbances within our natural surroundings impact anticipatory processes to varying degrees. A reduction in the N170 was observed solely when expected images directly followed their cues. This expectation‐facilitated effect disappeared when expected faces were preceded by an interfering face.
