The extensive exploration of the correlation between electroencephalogram (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) has yielded inconsistent outcomes, largely attributable to variations in tasks employed studies. direct relationship EEG HRV is further complicated by alpha power, which susceptible influences such as mental fatigue sleepiness. This research endeavors examine brain-heart interplay typically observed during periods music listening rest. In an effort mitigate indirect effects states on subjective sleepiness were measured rest, while emotional valence arousal evaluated listening. Partial analyses unveiled positive associations occipital alpha2 power (10–12 Hz) nHF, indicator parasympathetic activity, under both rest conditions. These findings underscore interactions that persist even after other variables have been accounted for.

Abstract The human electroencephalogram (EEG) is composed of synchronous oscillations within characteristic frequency bands, including 8–13 Hz alpha that often appear during relaxation. Relaxation critical for physical and mental health, but the extent to which various EEG components reflect relaxation remains uncertain. This systematic review meta-analysis investigated associations between concurrently measured reference indices in healthy adults. A comprehensive database search screening using preset criteria identified 38 studies involving 1,120 participants published January 1940 2022 qualitative synthesis. These used measures such as electrocardiographic related parasympathetic nervous system activity introspective obtained through questionnaires. Risks bias were evaluated following risk assessment tool nonrandomized studies. 23 a random-effects model revealed positive correlations index power at central channels (Fisher’s z -transformed correlation coefficient [95% confidence interval]: 0.23 [0.10–0.36]) frontal (0.16 [0.02–0.31]). was significantly higher channel compared with other channels. No significant detected frequencies or causal relationships warrant further study.

Abstract For decades, the intriguing connection between human alpha rhythm (an 8- to 13-Hz oscillation maximal over posterior cortex) and temporal processes in perception has furnished a rich landscape of proposals. The past decade, however, seen surge interest topic, bringing new theoretical, analytic, methodological developments alongside fresh controversies. This Special Focus on alpha-band dynamics processing provides an up-to-date snapshot playing field, with contributions from leading researchers field spanning original perspectives, evidence, comprehensive reviews meta-analyses, as well discussion ongoing controversies paths forward. We hope that perspectives captured here will help catalyze future research shape pathways toward theoretically grounded mechanistic account link properties perception.

Abstract The papers collected in this Special Focus, prompted by S. Buergers and U. Noppeney [The role of alpha oscillations temporal binding within across the senses. Nature Human Behaviour, 6, 732–742, 2022], have raised several interesting ideas, arguments, empirical results relating to resolution hypothesis. Here we briefly respond these, process emphasize four challenges for future research: defining scope limitation hypothesis; developing experimental paradigms study designs that rigorously test its tenets; decomposing scalp-level signal isolating underlying neural circuits; bringing uniformity current diversity analysis statistical methods. Addressing these will facilitate progression from merely correlating frequency with various perceptual phenomena establishing whether (if so) how influences sensory integration segregation.

The complexity of natural environments requires highly flexible mechanisms for adaptive processing. Furthermore, the processing single and multiple stimuli is strongly context goal dependent. large repertoire frequencies waveforms what commonly referred to as neuronal oscillations could be an ideal candidate implementing such flexibility in neural systems. Here we present a framework which dynamic multiplexing phase coding schemes underlie structure attention-guided complex visual scenes. Importantly, suggest that fluctuations excitability vary rapidly terms magnitude, frequency wave-form over time, i.e. they are not necessarily sustained oscillations. We propose different elements object should processed within cycle (or burst) alpha band activity (7-14Hz). This allows formation coherent representations while simultaneously separating objects across cycles.
