Task-constrained self-initiated attention shifts are indexed by frontal-midline theta ramping
Published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2025
This study examined EEG correlates of self-initiated attentional control during visual search. By combining simultaneous EEG and eye-tracking measurements with task-constrained paradigms, we identified frontal-midline theta ramping as a neural index of voluntary attentional preparation preceding self-initiated shifts. These findings provide novel insight into the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying top-down attentional control.
