“…Since the EEG apparatus has been described previously (Boudrot et al, 1976(Boudrot et al, , 1978, only its salient features will be mentioned here. Its general purpose was to detect and quantify intervals of alpha and intervals of little or no alpha and, for certain conditions, to present stimuli contingent on the occurrence of alpha or alpha-blocking.…”

“…The lecture includes characteristic changes in EEG during a normal night's sleep: the increase in amplitude and decrease in frequency through the early stages, slow wave, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (Carlson, 1994). We also discuss the effects of brain and sleep disorders and the suppression of alpha activity with visual attention (Boudrot, Goodman, & Mulholland, 1978 …”

Two experiments with 16 normal adults of both sexes tested the hypothesis that inattention to a biofeedback display is associated with increased variability of those physiological processes that had been regulated by the biofeedback. Each experiment was a repeated-measures-on-independent-subjects-design. Dependent variables were the time durations and the mean rms power of two mutually exclusive segments of the parietal-occipital EEG: alpha and not-alpha segments. Independent variables were combination of counting tasks and instructions to look at, listen to, and count visual and auditory flashes and clicks. The durations of alpha and not-alpha segments were controlled or regulated by means of an alpha-contingent visual feedback stimulus, Attention to the feedback stimulus was challenged by instructions to count other, noncontingent stimuli. Control of alpha and not-alpha segments was least for conditions of (1) "sham" feedback, and (2) feedback with instructions to count noncontingent auditory clicks, which were presented 3/sec while the feedback visual stimuli were occurring. A new EEG test of attention and distraction was suggested.

An EEG alpha-detection, feedback stimulation, and data analysis system

Abstract: A two-channel general-purpose EEG alpha-detection system is described, along with the associated computer hardware and software. A specific application for the study of the human orienting response using alpha-contingent visual stimulation is presented. Limitations are discussed.
