Brain correlates underlying creative thinking: EEG alpha activity in professional vs. novice dancers (2009, neutral): “However, meanwhile there is a large body of evidence which indicates that synchronization of alpha activity does not merely reflect cortical deactivation or cortical idling (e.g. Cooper et al., 2003; Jensen et al., 2002; Klimesch et al., 1999, 2007; Ray and Cole, 1985; Sauseng et al., 2005).”
Delay-period Activity in the Prefrontal Cortex: One Function Is Sensory Gating (2005, background): “In these studies, an increase in alpha-band power over posterior areas during short-term memory task performance is interpreted as evidence for ‘‘inhibition of task irrelevant processes’’ (Klimesch, Doppelmayr, Schwaiger, Auinger, & Winker, 1999, p. 403; see also Jensen, Gelfand, Kounios, & Lisman,”
Neural reflections of meaning in gesture, language, and action (2009, neutral): “2001) and in working memory processes (Jensen et al. 2002; Jokisch and Jensen 2007).”
Neurocognitive architecture of working memory (2015, background): “Alpha power changes during the retention interval are dependent upon the current working-memory load (Jensen et al., 2002).”
Alpha Oscillations Correlate with the Successful Inhibition of Unattended Stimuli (2011, background): “, 2001; Worden, Foxe, Wang, & Simpson, 2000), by task difficulty (Händel, Lutzenberger, Thier, & Haarmeier, 2007; Jensen, Gelfand, Kounios, & Lisman, 2002; Klimesch, Doppelmayr, Schwaiger, Auinger, & Winkler, 1999), and by memory load (Leiberg, Lutzenberger, & Kaiser, 2006; Jensen et al., 2002; Klim”
Phase Synchrony among Neuronal Oscillations in the Human Cortex (2005, background): “The results showed that amplitudes of (Bastiaansen et al., 2002; Halgren et al., 2002; Jensen et al., 2002) and / (Tallon-Baudry et al.”
Increased Alpha-Band Power during the Retention of Shapes and Shape-Location Associations in Visual Short-Term Memory (2011, background): “Indeed, several studies have demonstrated that alpha-band power increases as a function of task difficulty (see, e.g., Klimesch et al., 1999; Jensen et al., 2002; Händel et al., 2007).”
A shift of visual spatial attention is selectively associated with human EEG alpha activity (2005, background): “EEG alpha activity can be interpreted as an indicator of cortical inhibition (Klimesch et al., 1999; Hummel et al., 2002; Jensen et al., 2002).”
Shaping Functional Architecture by Oscillatory Alpha Activity: Gating by Inhibition (2010, methodology): “Using these types of paradigms several studies have now demonstrated a robust increase in alpha power with memory load during the retention interval (Jensen et al., 2002; Tuladhar et al., 2007; Scheeringa et al., 2009).”
Trial-by-trial coupling between EEG and BOLD identifies networks related to alpha and theta EEG power increases during working memory maintenance (2009, background): “…EEG or MEG have been reported in the theta band (Gevins et al., 1997; Krause et al., 2000; Onton et al., 2005), alpha band (Klimesch et al., 1999); Jensen et al., 2002; Jokisch and Jensen, 2007; Schack and Klimesch, 2002; Tuladhar et al., 2007) and gamma band (Jokisch and Jensen, 2007; Kaiser et…”
