CHAPTER

Functional Inhibition in Non-Caught Language

The idea is that alpha oscillations, when expressed locally in a piece of cortex somewhere, or for example, over a large part of the left or the right parietal cortex might indicate a basically inhibition. And so what we're using here is that spatial attention. So your amazing ability to focus on some part of your environment and ignoring other chunks of that are accompanied by lateralized alpha activity. But can I use it to predict whether or not you will perform sort of adequately in that very trial? And that was the question we were after here. We pitted against neural tracking as the other proposed mechanism,. more coming from the speech and auditory domain, used by colleagues who are interested in building brain
