We rely on sustained attention to protect task performance against fatigue and distraction.
Time-related variations in attention correlate with amplitude changes of specific cortical …

A fundamental issue in cognitive neuroscience is how the brain encodes others' actions and
intentions. In recent years, a potential advance in our knowledge on this issue is the …

Highlights•We reviewed the evidence on the role alpha oscillations might play in
attention.•There is an abundance of support for alpha power playing a functional inhibitory …

Evidence has amassed from both animal intracranial recordings and human
electrophysiology that neural oscillatory mechanisms play a critical role in a number of …

Decreases in alpha synchronization are correlated with enhanced attention, whereas alpha
increases are correlated with inattention. However, correlation is not causality, and …

Our ability to focus on goal‐relevant aspects of the environment is critically dependent on
our ability to ignore or inhibit distracting information. One perspective is that distractor …

Distractor suppression, or the ability to disregard salient distractors while dealing with task-
relevant information, is a key component of selective attention. Recent research has shown …

Alpha oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain, but their role in cortical processing remains a
matter of debate. Recently, evidence has begun to accumulate in support of a role for alpha …

Visual illusions and hallucinations are hallmarks of serotonergic hallucinogen-induced
altered states of consciousness. Although the serotonergic hallucinogen psilocybin activates …

Unraveling how brain regions communicate is crucial for understanding how the brain
processes external and internal information. Neuronal oscillations within and across brain …
