Spontaneous fluctuations in posterior alpha-band EEG activity reflect variability in excitability of human visual areas. (2008, positive): “EEG Analysis The time course and spatial (scalp) distribution of oscillatory activity preceding a visual percept (P-yes) or no percept (P-no) were calculated using a modified temporal spectral evolution (TSE) algorithm (Salmelin and Hari 1994), applied also in (Worden et al. 2000; Kelly et al. 2006;”
Prestimulus oscillations predict visual perception performance between and within subjects (2007, background): “Using a selective spatial attention paradigm, Rihs et al. (2007) found increased alpha power for electrode sites contralaterally to the visual field which had to be ignored by the subjects.”
EEG and MEG: relevance to neuroscience. (2013, background): “It has been shown as well in the visual cortex even with a retinotopic spatial distribution (Kelly et al., 2006; Rihs et al., 2007).”
Brain-computer interfacing using modulations of alpha activity induced by covert shifts of attention (2011, background): “It was shown that shifts to multiple spatial directions, including top and bottom, yield distinctive patterns of alpha modulation [17] that can be reliably classified [18,19].”
Shaping Functional Architecture by Oscillatory Alpha Activity: Gating by Inhibition (2010, background): “…spatial attention have shown that when covert attention is directed to one hemifield (e.g., the left), then alpha decreases in the contralateral (right) but increases in the ipsilateral (left) hemisphere (Worden et al., 2000; Thut et al., 2006; Rihs et al., 2007; Kelly et al., 2009; van Gerven and”
Alpha Oscillations Correlate with the Successful Inhibition of Unattended Stimuli (2011, background): “Furthermore, it has been shown that spatial shifts of covert visual attention were paralleled by sustained focal increases of alpha activity in a retinotopically specific manner: Increases in alpha power were observed ipsilateral to the attended hemifield (Rihs, Michel, & Thut, 2007 ; Kelly et al, ”
The Role of Alpha-Band Brain Oscillations as a Sensory Suppression Mechanism during Selective Attention (2011, background): “…brain mechanisms in selective attention (e.g., Vanni et al., 1997; Foxe et al., 1998; Gruber et al., 1999; Shibata et al., 1999; Sokolov et al., 1999; Worden et al., 2000; Sauseng et al., 2005; Yamagishi et al., 2005; Kelly et al., 2006; Thut et al., 2006; Rihs et al., 2007; Snyder and Foxe, 2010).”
On the Role of Prestimulus Alpha Rhythms over Occipito-Parietal Areas in Visual Input Regulation: Correlation or Causation? (2010, background): “…by deployment of visual spatial attention (Sauseng et al., 2005; Thut et al., 2006), leading to retinotopically organized alpha changes in accordance with the focus of attention (Worden et al., 2000; Rihs et al., 2007) through top-down influences from the frontal eye field (Capotosto et al., 2009).”
Parietal Alpha Oscillatory Peak Frequency Mediates the Effect of Practice on Visuospatial Working Memory Performance (2022, background): “However, more recent evidence shows that alpha activity might be just slightly attenuated or even enhanced during the completion of certain cognitive tasks [91,92].”
Neural oscillations track the maintenance and proceduralization of novel instructions (2020, result): “Consistent findings reported alpha desynchronization over posterior regions contralateral to the attended spatial location, indicating top-down anticipatory mechanisms of orienting attention in the perceptual or internal space (Sauseng et al., 2005; Thut et al., 2006; Rihs et al., 2007; van Dijk et ”
