Attention is the gate through which sensory information enters our conscious experiences.
Oftentimes, patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) complain of concentration …

Highlights•We reviewed the evidence on the role alpha oscillations might play in
attention.•There is an abundance of support for alpha power playing a functional inhibitory …

We rely on sustained attention to protect task performance against fatigue and distraction.
Time-related variations in attention correlate with amplitude changes of specific cortical …

The brain exhibits organized fluctuations of neural activity, even in the absence of tasks or
sensory input. A prominent type of such spontaneous activity is the alpha rhythm, which …

We present both a scientific overview and conceptual positions concerning the challenges
and assets of electrophysiological measurements in the search for the nature and functions …

The role of alpha oscillations (8–13 Hz) in cognition is intensively investigated. While
intracranial animal recordings demonstrate that alpha oscillations are associated with …

Introduction Brain processes of working memory involve oscillatory activities at multiple
frequencies in local and long‐range neural networks. The current study addressed the …

The ability to process and respond to external input is critical for adaptive behavior. Why,
then, do neural and behavioral responses vary across repeated presentations of the same …

The brain adapts to dynamic environments by adjusting the attentional gain or precision
afforded to salient and predictable sensory input. Previous research suggests that this …

Attention plays a fundamental role in selectively processing stimuli in our environment
despite distraction. Spatial attention induces increasing and decreasing power of neural …
