A theta rhythm in macaque visual cortex and its attentional modulation

G Spyropoulos, CA Bosman… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Theta rhythms govern rodent sniffing and whisking, and human language processing.
Human psychophysics suggests a role for theta also in visual attention. However, little is …

The role of alpha oscillations in resisting distraction

M Bonnefond, O Jensen - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2024 - cell.com
The role of alpha oscillations (8–13 Hz) in suppressing distractors is extensively debated.
One debate concerns whether alpha oscillations suppress anticipated visual distractors …

Occipital alpha-band brain waves when the eyes are closed are shaped by ongoing visual processes

W Hohaia, BW Saurels, A Johnston, K Yarrow… - Scientific reports, 2022 - nature.com
One of the seminal findings of cognitive neuroscience is that the power of occipital alpha-
band (~ 10 Hz) brain waves is increased when peoples' eyes are closed, rather than open …

Double dissociation of spontaneous alpha-band activity and pupil-linked arousal on additive and multiplicative perceptual gain

A Pilipenko, J Samaha - Journal of Neuroscience, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Perception is a probabilistic process dependent on external stimulus properties and one's
internal state. However, which internal states influence perception and via what mechanisms …

The relevance of alpha phase in human perception

M Ruzzoli, M Torralba, LM Fernández, S Soto-Faraco - Cortex, 2019 - Elsevier
Neural oscillations in the low frequencies, roughly in the alpha band (α, 5–15 Hz), have
been suggested to act as a gateway from sensation to perception. This hypothesis assumes …

[HTML][HTML] How to test for phasic modulation of neural and behavioural responses

B Zoefel, MH Davis, G Valente, L Riecke - Neuroimage, 2019 - Elsevier
Research on whether perception or other processes depend on the phase of neural

Memorisation and implicit perceptual learning are enhanced for preferred musical intervals and chords

P Sarasso, P Perna, P Barbieri… - Psychonomic Bulletin & …, 2021 - Springer
Is it true that we learn better what we like? Current neuroaesthetic and neurocomputational
models of aesthetic appreciation postulate the existence of a correlation between aesthetic …

[HTML][HTML] I'm a believer: Illusory self-generated touch elicits sensory attenuation and somatosensory evoked potentials similar to the real self-touch

M Pyasik, I Ronga, D Burin, A Salatino, P Sarasso… - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
Sensory attenuation (ie, the phenomenon whereby self-produced sensations are perceived
as less intense compared to externally occurring ones) is among the neurocognitive …

Physical but not virtual presence of others potentiates implicit and explicit learning

P Sarasso, I Ronga, E Del Fante, P Barbieri, I Lozzi… - Scientific Reports, 2022 - nature.com
