On the Role of Prestimulus Alpha Rhythms over Occipito-Parietal Areas in Visual Input Regulation: Correlation or Causation? (2010, background): “Regarding the alpha rhythm, parietal TMS at alpha frequency has been found to enhance performance in visual mental rotation of three-dimensional cubes (Klimesch et al., 2003) or visual working memory for unilateral targets when competing with contralateral distracters (Sauseng et al., 2009).”
Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Enhances Individual Alpha Activity in Human EEG (2010, background): “The occipital alpha rhythm has been linked to cognition [4] and working memory [5] and is the main target of training-induced alterations by operant conditioning in the context of biofeedback [6].”
Discrete Capacity Limits in Visual Working Memory (2010, background): “Consistent with this alpha-power viewpoint, multiple studies have recently shown that visual WM load modulates alpha power and that the magnitude of this modulation appears to predict individual differences in WM capacity [31,32].”
Shaping Functional Architecture by Oscillatory Alpha Activity: Gating by Inhibition (2010, methodology): “A similar pattern was observed in working memory tasks in which subjects were presented visual stimuli to be remembered in either the left or right visual hemifield (Van Der Werf et al., 2008; Grimault et al., 2009; Sauseng et al., 2009).”
The Theta-Gamma Neural Code (2013, neutral): “More recently, the study of these oscillations in humans has become a focus of cognitive neuroscience (Axmacher et al., 2010; Canolty et al., 2006; Demiralp et al., 2007; Llinas and Ribary, 1993; Maris et al., 2011; Mormann et al., 2005; Sauseng et al., 2009; Voytek et al., 2010).”
Inter- and intra-individual variability in alpha peak frequency (2014, methodology): “, 2007) and contrasts with the load-dependent alpha power increase that has been reported for the Sternberg paradigm and visuospatial WM tasks (Jensen et al., 2002; Roux et al., 2012; Sauseng et al., 2009; Tuladhar et al., 2007).”
The role of phase synchronization in memory processes (2011, background): “They include cross-frequency phase–amplitude coupling and cross-frequency phase–phase coupling — two phenomena that may occur independentl”
Neural Cross-Frequency Coupling: Connecting Architectures, Mechanisms, and Functions. (2015, neutral): “Theta – gamma PPC is observed in human EEG during visual working memory [68], with a load-dependent PPC effect during retention of visual information in addition to PAC [69].”
Frontal Midline Theta Oscillations during Working Memory Maintenance and Episodic Encoding and Retrieval (2013, methodology): “By using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial alternating/direct current stimulation (tACS, tDCS), researchers have been able to causally manipulate neural oscillations (e.g., Hamidi et al., 2009; Sauseng et al., 2009; Sela et al., 2012).”
Causal Evidence for a Role of Theta and Alpha Oscillations in the Control of Working Memory (2020, background): “Alpha oscillations in parietal cortex have been previously shown to play a causal role in input-gating by suppressing task-irrelevant exogenous information from being encoded into WM [14].”
Causal Evidence for the Role of Neuronal Oscillations in Top-Down and Bottom-Up Attention (2019, unknown): “By increasing the number of distractors, alpha activity can be driven in the regions that process those distractors (Sauseng et al., 2009).”
