Abstract:

Spectral intensity and coherence analysis of EEG activity during rest and during a period of self-regulated high alpha in two subjects indicate that 1 Slow frontal activity, which is due primarily to eye movements, is less intense during successful alpha regulation than during baselines. 2 There is little evidence for increased intensity in frequency ranges other than the alpha range during alpha regulation. 3 Occipital alpha tends to be more coherent with frontal than with temporal alpha during occipital alpha regulation.
