Alpha oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, but their role in cortical processing remains a
matter of debate. Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate in support of a role for alpha …

AIM OF THE REVIEW: Questions related to the genesis and functional correlates of the
brain's alpha oscillations around 10Hz (Alpha) are one of the fundamental research areas in …

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 …

Whether prestimulus oscillatory brain activity contributes to the generation of post-stimulus-
evoked neural responses has long been debated, but findings remain inconclusive. We first …

There is growing recognition that neural oscillations are important in a wide range of
perceptual and cognitive functions. One of the key issues in electrophysiological studies of …

Not only poststimulus, but also prestimulus neural activity has been shown to be predictive
for later successful memory encoding. However, it is still not clear which medial temporal …

How do we remember emotional events? While emotion often leads to vivid recollection, the
precision of emotional memories can be degraded, especially when discriminating among …

Recent studies have linked variability in near‐threshold stimulus detection to fluctuations in
the prestimulus EEG alpha power (α,∼ 8–12 Hz). Typically, these studies rely on hit rate as …

We review reports of brain activations that occur immediately prior to the onset or following
the offset of to-be-remembered information and can predict subsequent mnemonic success …

Abstract Changes in attention allocation with complex task learning reflect processing
automatization and more efficient control. We studied these changes using ERP and EEG …
