Spontaneous changes in the prestimulus alpha power predict both objective and subjective aspects of perception—evidence from 4 paradigms and 471 experimental sessions

Abstract Whether a given stimulus will be perceived depends not only on its physical intensity but also by the functional state of the visual system, particularly power of the spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG) alpha-band activity (7 to 14 Hz) at the stimulus onset.
