TL;DR: Alpha-band (8-14 Hz) oscillatory EEG activity was examined with high-density scalp electrical recording during the cue-stimulus interval of an endogenous spatial cueing paradigm and results are consistent with active gating of uncued spatial locations.

TL;DR: Findings in the context of intersensory selective attention as well as intrasensory spatial and feature-based attention in the visual, auditory, and tactile domains are discussed.

TL;DR: This study examined the timing and topography of cortical auditory-visual interactions using high-density event-related potentials (ERPs) during a simple reaction-time (RT) task, providing compelling evidence that auditory- visual neural interactions give rise to this RT effect.

TL;DR: Bilateral flickering stimuli were presented simultaneously and continuously over entire trial blocks, such that externally evoked alpha desynchronization is equated in precue baseline and postcue intervals and suggests that alpha synchronization reflects an active attentional suppression mechanism, rather than a passive one reflecting "idling" circuits.

TL;DR: Data suggest that activity represented in the "early" ERP components such as P1 and N1 (and possibly even C1) is likely to reflect relatively late processing, after the initial volley of sensory afference through the visual system and involving top-down influences from parietal and frontal regions.
