Alpha Oscillations During Speech Information Encoding
Introduction While the prominence of brain alpha oscillations continues, ongoing advances diversify our understanding of their functional roles, moving away from a unified perspective. This diversity is particularly pronounced in auditory contexts. Auditory alpha’s existence, EEG measurability, and its potential dependence on visual alpha collectively pose three layers of uncertainty. Moreover, an alternative viewpoint transcends sensory distinctions, introducing a dimension that extends beyond the confines of specific modalities. In 1999, a pivotal finding [3] emerges: upper alpha selectively synchronizes during maximal episodic short-term memory demands, challenging the conventional expectation of alpha desynchronization during mental activity at that time....
