“…One neural signature involved in this process supposedly is alpha band activity (van Kerkoerle, et al, 2014;Michalareas, et al, 2016;Sherman, Kanai, Seth, & VanRullen, 2016;Mayer, Schwiedrzik, Wibral, Singer, & Melloni, 2016), generally known to shape the perception of forthcoming stimuli (Ergenoglu, et al, 2004;Hanslmayr, et al, 2007;van Dijk, Schoffelen, Oostenveld, & Jensen, 2008;Mathewson, Gratton, Fabiani, Beck, & Ro, 2009). Recent studies have suggested that pre-stimulus alpha activity may reflect the criterion used to commit a specific response and may hence reflect a perceptual or decisional bias (Limbach & Corballis, 2016;Iemi, Chaumon, Crouzet, & Busch, 2017;Craddock, Poliakoff, El-deredy, Klepousniotou, & Lloyd, 2017;Iemi & Busch, 2018;Rohe, Ehlis, & Noppeney, 2019). Along such a role in perceptual decision making, alpha activity was shown to correlate with subjective awareness (Benwell, et al, 2017;Lange, Oostenveld, & Fries, 2013;Gulbinaite, İlhan, & VanRullen, 2017) and decision confidence (Samaha, Iemi, & Postle, 2017;Wöstmann, Waschke, & Obleser, 2018).…”
