Alpha/beta power decreases track the fidelity of stimulus-specific information (2019)
Journal Article
Griffiths, B. J., Mayhew, S. D., Mullinger, K. J., Jorge, J., Charest, I., Wimber, M., & Hanslmayr, S. (2019). Alpha/beta power decreases track the fidelity of stimulus-specific information. eLife, 8, https://doi.org/10.7554/elife.49562

© 2019, Griffiths et al. Massed synchronised neuronal firing is detrimental to information processing. When networks of task-irrelevant neurons fire in unison, they mask the signal generated by task-critical neurons. On a macroscopic level, such sync...

Post-stimulus beta responses are modulated by task duration (2019)
Journal Article
Pakenham, D. O., Quinn, A. J., Fry, A., Francis, S. T., Woolrich, M. W., Brookes, M. J., & Mullinger, K. J. (2020). Post-stimulus beta responses are modulated by task duration. NeuroImage, 206, Article 116288. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116288

Modulation of beta-band neural oscillations during and following movement is a robust marker of brain function. In particular, the post-movement beta rebound (PMBR), which occurs on movement cessation, has been related to inhibition and connectivity...

Two spatially distinct posterior alpha sources fulfill different functional roles in attention (2019)
Journal Article
Sokoliuk, R., Mayhew, S., Aquino, K., Wilson, R., Brookes, M., Francis, S., …Mullinger, K. (2019). Two spatially distinct posterior alpha sources fulfill different functional roles in attention. Journal of Neuroscience, 39(36), 7183-7194. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.1993-18.2019

Directing attention helps extracting relevant information and suppressing distracters. Alpha brain oscillations (8-12Hz) are crucial for this process, with power decreases facilitating processing of important information and power increases inhibitin...

The relationship between negative BOLD responses and ERS and ERD of alpha/beta oscillations in visual and motor cortex (2019)
Journal Article
Wilson, R., Mullinger, K. J., Francis, S. T., & Mayhew, S. D. (2019). The relationship between negative BOLD responses and ERS and ERD of alpha/beta oscillations in visual and motor cortex. NeuroImage, 199, 635-650. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.06.009

Previous work has investigated the electrophysiological origins of the intra-modal (within the stimulated sensory cortex) negative BOLD fMRI response (NBR, decrease from baseline) but little attention has been paid to the origin of cross-modal NBRs,...
