Sensory drive modifies brain dynamics and the temporal integration window

G Karvat, N Ofir, AN Landau - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Perception is suggested to occur in discrete temporal windows, clocked by cycles of neural
oscillations. An important testable prediction of this theory is that individuals' peak …

Alpha-band frequency and temporal windows in perception: A review and living meta-analysis of 27 experiments (and counting)

J Samaha, V Romei - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu
Temporal windows in perception refer to windows of time within which distinct stimuli interact
to influence perception. A simple example is two temporally proximal stimuli fusing into a …

A role for bottom–up alpha oscillations in temporal integration

G Karvat, AN Landau - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2024 - direct.mit.edu

phenomena. However, dissociations between sensory events and their subjective …

Individual alpha frequency appears unrelated to the latency of early visual responses

A Morrow, W Dou, J Samaha - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 - frontiersin.org
A large body of work has linked neural oscillations in the alpha-band (8–13 Hz) to visual
perceptual outcomes. In particular, studies have found that alpha phase prior to stimulus …
