The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Associations between EEG power and coherence with cognition and early precursors of speech and language development across the first months of life (2024, background): “Some research has found that alpha oscillations in the parietal lobe are associated with attention [29]; for example, infants aged 8–11 months of age show attenuated alpha band power over posterior brain regions as they watch a tv show in comparison to being in total darkness.”
Associations between EEG power and coherence and cognitive and language development across the first months of life (2023, background): “Some research has found that alpha oscillations in the parietal lobe are associated with attention (Orekhova et al., 2001); for example, infants aged 8–11 months of age show attenuated alpha PSD over posterior brain regions as they watch a tv show in comparison to being in total darkness.”
Early development of electrophysiological activity: contribution of periodic and aperiodic components of the EEG signal (2022, background): “Indeed, the alpha peak found after removing the background activity remains in the range called "infant alpha" (6 - 9 Hz; Stroganova et al., 1999; Orekhova et al., 1999, 2001, 2006), and it will probably transit to adult frequencies around the seventh year of life (Cellier et al., 2021).”
