Perceptual cycles

R VanRullen - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2016 - cell.com
Brain function involves oscillations at various frequencies. This could imply that perception
and cognition operate periodically, as a succession of cycles mirroring the underlying …

[HTML][HTML] Alpha oscillations serve to protect working memory maintenance against anticipated distracters

M Bonnefond, O Jensen - Current biology, 2012 - cell.com
When operating in a complex world, it is essential to have mechanisms that can suppress
distracting information [1, 2]. Such mechanisms might be related to neuronal oscillations …

[HTML][HTML] Putative rhythms in attentional switching can be explained by aperiodic temporal structure

G Brookshire - Nature human behaviour, 2022 - nature.com
The neural and perceptual effects of attention were traditionally assumed to be sustained
over time, but recent work suggests that covert attention rhythmically switches between …

Behavioral oscillations in attention: rhythmic α pulses mediated through θ band

K Song, M Meng, L Chen, K Zhou… - Journal of …, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
Neuronal oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain and contribute to perception and attention.
However, most associated evidence derives from post hoc correlations between brain …

[HTML][HTML] Natural rhythms of periodic temporal attention

A Zalta, S Petkoski, B Morillon - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
That attention is a fundamentally rhythmic process has recently received abundant empirical
