Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Dysfunctional attentional control is a hallmark of many mental disorders.
  • Current neurophysiological methods for assessing attention in these patients are limited.
  • Previous studies indicated potential differences in alpha-band power related to internal and external attention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate event-related alpha-band power changes during tasks requiring internal and external attention in healthy subjects.
  • To refine understanding of neurophysiological correlates of attentional control.
  • To address limitations of prior research on attention-related alpha-band activity.

Main Methods:

  • Sixteen healthy volunteers participated in the study.
  • Event-related power (ERpow) in the alpha-band (8, 10, 12 Hz) was measured.
  • Participants performed self-reflection (SR) and working memory (WM) tasks designed to evoke internal and external attention, respectively.

Main Results:

  • A discrepancy in alpha-band ERpow was observed in the parieto-occipital area between the SR and WM tasks.
  • This difference occurred during the period between target and command stimuli, reflecting attentional shifts.
  • The SR task involved a switch from external to internal attention, while the WM task maintained external attention.

Conclusions:

  • Alpha-band ERpow in the parieto-occipital region is associated with the direction of attention.
  • These findings provide a potential neurophysiological marker for attentional control.
  • The results may contribute to understanding attention dysfunction in psychiatric disorders.
