Dynamic and task-dependent decoding of the human attentional spotlight from MEG

2025-10-24

Abstract excerpt

Attention is a fundamental mechanism enabling the brain to overcome its limited capacity for parallel processing. In non-human primates, invasive electrophysiology has shown that attentional selection operates rhythmically, primarily within the alpha (∼8–12 Hz) and theta (∼4–5 Hz) bands. Whether such finely resolved control signals can be captured non-invasively in humans, and how they adapt to changing task deman...
