Abstract An intriguing question in cognitive neuroscience is whether alpha oscillations shape how the brain transforms continuous sensory inputs into distinct percepts. According to temporal resolution hypothesis, signals arriving within a single cycle are integrated, whereas those separate cycles segregated. Consequently, shorter should be associated with smaller binding windows and higher resolution. However, evidence supporting this hypothesis contentious, neural mechanisms remain unclear. In review, we first elucidate circuitries that generate oscillations. We then critically evaluate study designs, experimental paradigms, psychophysics, neurophysiological analyses have been employed investigate role of frequency binding. Through lens methodological framework, review from between-subject, within-subject, causal perturbation studies. Our highlights inherent interpretational ambiguities posed by previous designs paradigms extensive variability analysis choices across also suggest best practice recommendations may help guide future research. To establish mechanistic parsing, research needed demonstrates its effects on window consistent, experimenter-independent methods.
