Event-related synchronization (ERS) in the alpha band--an electrophysiological correlate of cortical idling: a review.

How researchers see this paper

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

Neural shifts in alpha rhythm's dual functioning during empathy maturation (2023, background): “…MEG can straight-forwardly measure alpha suppression and enhancement, and fMRI enables us to localize the exact BOLD-activated (engaged) and BOLD-deactivated (disengaged) brain regions associated with these alpha patterns (Jensen & Mazaheri, 2010; Pfurtscheller et al., 1996; Zumer etal.,2010,2014).”
Exploring Physiological Correlates of Visual Complexity Adaptation: Insights from EDA, ECG, and EEG Data for Adaptation Evaluation in VR Adaptive Systems (2023, background): “Alpha increase has been classically related to increasing visual and attentional load [37, 49], even in adaptive systems [20].”
Cell type-specific excitability probed by optogenetic stimulation depends on the phase of the alpha oscillation (2022, background): “Originally, alpha oscillations 61 were considered to simply reflect an “idling” state [26].”
