Alpha-band EEG activity in perceptual learning.
In studies of perceptual learning (PL), subjects are typically highly trained across many sessions to achieve perceptual benefits on the stimuli in those tasks. There is currently significant debate regarding what sources of brain plasticity underlie these PL-based learning improvements. Here we investigate the hypothesis that PL, among other mechanisms, leads to task automaticity, especially i...
متن کاملStuck in a Moment: EEG Alpha Power Predicts Perceptual Perseveration
A major question in neuroscience is how the intrinsic state of the neuronal network determines the perception of a complex stimulus and enhances the propensity to either switch or remain attentive to a particular perceptual interpretation. To understand the mechanisms of the spontaneous drive of the brain to explore alternative interpretations of unchanging stimuli, we recorded high-density ele...
متن کاملSpontaneous fluctuations in posterior alpha-band EEG activity reflect variability in excitability of human visual areas.
Neural activity fluctuates dynamically with time, and these changes have been reported to be of behavioral significance, despite occurring spontaneously. Through electroencephalography (EEG), fluctuations in alpha-band (8-14 Hz) activity have been identified over posterior sites that covary on a trial-by-trial basis with whether an upcoming visual stimulus will be detected or not. These fluctua...
متن کاملAntecedent occipital alpha band activity predicts the impact of oculomotor events in perceptual switching
Oculomotor events such as blinks and saccades transiently interrupt the visual input and, even though this mostly goes undetected, these brief interruptions could still influence the percept. In particular, both blinking and saccades facilitate switching in ambiguous figures such as the Necker cube. To investigate the neural state antecedent to these oculomotor events during the perception of a...
متن کاملEEG-correlated fMRI of human alpha activity.
Electroencephalography-correlated functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG/fMRI) can be used to identify blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal changes associated with both physiological and pathological EEG events. Here, we implemented continuous and simultaneous EEG/fMRI to identify BOLD signal changes related to spontaneous power fluctuations in the alpha rhythm (8-12 Hz), the dominant...
