• Alpha oscillations support attentional orienting while beta supports perceptual decision-making (2026, unknown): “…studies have shown that top-down attentional signals generated through stimulation of the frontal eye fields (FEFs) induce a phase reset of beta-band activity in posterior-occipital regions, shaping the rhythmic sampling of visual stimuli (Trajkovic et al., 2025; Veniero et al., 2021).”
