Evaluating the evidence for the functional inhibition account of alpha-band oscillations during preparatory attention

A Morrow, M Elias, J Samaha - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023 - direct.mit.edu
The functional inhibition account states that alpha-band (8–14 Hz) power implements
attentional control by selectively inhibiting task-irrelevant neural representations. This …
