The authors demonstrate that attention slowly fluctuates at a rhythm that resembles resting-state oscillations. During periods of attention, the brain aligns its neuronal oscillations and the cortical operations they orchestrate to the timing of external stimuli, while attentional lapses are characterized by operations aligned to internally timed alpha oscillations.
