In the past, the technique has been criticized for creating statistical artifacts and capitalizing on chance. In our new paper (Schmidt et a ...

Over the past two decades, a provocative hypothesis has emerged suggesting that perception and attention operate in a rhythmic fashion—characterized by approximately 7–10 brief, alternating episodes of high and low perceptual efficiency per second. This rhythmic framework posits that ongoing brain oscillations may directly und ...
