Popis:	Alpha rhythm of the parieto-occipital area is comprised of a parade of short-lived cortical excitations (alphons), each of which exhibits oscillations having a stable period within the alpha bandwidth. Strong alpha rhythm is produced by alphons extending over a larger cortical area, although an enhanced cortical current density may also contribute. Local suppression of alpha rhythm indicates when specific cortical areas become engaged in sensory or cognitive functions. Examples are provided for mental imagery, visual memory, auditory memory, and silent rhythming.
