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 …

Evidence has amassed from both animal intracranial recordings and human
electrophysiology that neural oscillatory mechanisms play a critical role in a number of …

Optogenetics may enable mutation-independent, circuit-specific restoration of neuronal
function in neurological diseases. Retinitis pigmentosa is a neurodegenerative eye disease …

The traditional belief is that the event-related alpha response can solely be described in
terms of suppression or event-related desynchronization (ERD). Recent research, however …

Many current neurophysiological, psychophysical, and psychological approaches to vision
rest on the idea that when we see, the brain produces an internal representation of the …

Covertly directing visual attention toward a spatial location in the absence of visual
stimulation enhances future visual processing at the attended position. The neuronal …

Recent studies suggest brain oscillations as a mechanism for cerebral integration. Such
integration can exist across a number of functional domains, with different frequency rhythms …

Although the resting and baseline states of the human electroencephalogram and
magnetoencephalogram (MEG) are dominated by oscillations in the alpha band (∼ 10 Hz) …

Variations in alpha rhythm have a significant role in perception and attention. Recently,
alpha decrease has been associated with externally directed attention, especially in the …
