Alpha-band frequency and temporal windows in perception: a review and living meta-analysis of 27 experiments (and counting)

J Samaha, V Romei - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Temporal windows in perception refer to windows of time within which distinct stimuli interact
to influence perception. A simple example is two temporally proximal stimuli fusing into a …

Alpha oscillations and temporal binding windows in perception—A critical review and best practice guidelines

JM Schoffelen, UG Pesci, U Noppeney - Journal of Cognitive …, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
An intriguing question in cognitive neuroscience is whether alpha oscillations shape how
the brain transforms the continuous sensory inputs into distinct percepts. According to the …

Aperiodic EEG predicts variability of visual temporal processing

M Deodato, D Melcher - Journal of Neuroscience, 2024 - jneurosci.org
The human brain exhibits both oscillatory and aperiodic, or 1/f, activity. Although a large
body of research has focused on the relationship between brain rhythms and sensory …

Correlations between visual temporal resolution and individual alpha peak frequency: Evidence that internal and measurement noise drive null findings

M Deodato, D Melcher - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
The brain organizes the continuous flow of sensory input by parsing it into discrete events. In
the case of two flashes separated by a brief ISI, for example, perception may be of a single …

EEG alpha power predicts the temporal sensitivity of multisensory perception

RE London, CSY Benwell, R Cecere… - European Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Pre‐stimulus electroencephalogram (EEG) oscillations, especially in the alpha range (8–13
Hz), can affect the sensitivity to temporal lags between modalities in multisensory …

[HTML][HTML] Schizotypal traits and anomalous perceptual experiences are associated with greater visual temporal acuity

M Deodato, L Ronconi, D Melcher - Schizophrenia Research, 2024 - Elsevier
One of the main tasks of the human visual system is to organize the temporal flow of visual
events into meaningful patterns. It has been suggested that segregation/integration of …

Precision data-driven modeling of cortical dynamics reveals person-specific mechanisms underpinning brain electrophysiology

MF Singh, TS Braver, M Cole, SN Ching - Proceedings of the National …, 2025 - pnas.org
Task-free brain activity affords unique insight into the functional structure of brain network

Alpha-band brain dynamics and temporal processing: An introduction to the special focus

J Samaha, V Romei - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
For decades, the intriguing connection between the human alpha rhythm (an 8-to 13-Hz
oscillation maximal over posterior cortex) and temporal processes in perception has …

Sensory drive modifies brain dynamics and the temporal integration window

G Karvat, N Ofir, AN Landau - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Perception is suggested to occur in discrete temporal windows, clocked by cycles of neural
oscillations. An important testable prediction of this theory is that individuals' peak …

Distinct cortical networks subserve spatio-temporal sampling in vision through different oscillatory rhythms

L Ronconi, E Balestrieri, D Baldauf… - Journal of cognitive …, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Although visual input arrives continuously, sensory information is segmented into (quasi-)
discrete events. Here, we investigated the neural correlates of spatiotemporal binding in …
