Are alpha oscillations a neural correlate of inhibition?

Human alpha oscillations, appearing as high amplitude 10 Hz waves in the human electroencephalogram (EEG) during rest, were continuously considered as background noise. Recent investigations highlight alpha as an important attentional mechanism that serves as active ‘gatekeeper’ for sensory information processing. Increasing evidence suggest that alpha is inhibitory in nature suppressing irrelevant information processing. Studies from vision, memory and attention are presented to show if alpha is indeed inhibitory and reflects more than mere background noise.
