Fig. 6: Bursting before and after distractor presentations.
From: Distinct functions for beta and alpha bursts in gating of human working memory
a Burst rates as shown in Fig. 5a but averaged over 1 s periods starting from the onset of bars 2 and 3 (serving as distractors in Distractor trials) for each frequency band and the occipital area. The grey shaded area indicates the presentation period of bars 2 and 3. b Burst rates as shown in Fig. 5a but averaged over 1 s periods starting from the onset of bars 1 and 2 for each frequency band and the parietal and PFC areas. The dotted boxes represent the delay periods preceding the presentation of distractors (blue, in Distractor trials) or targets (red, in No-Distractor trials) for bar 2 and 3 in the sequence. Blue bars denote when Distractor trial burst rates were significantly above No-Distractor trial burst rates, and red bars the opposite, using two-sided cluster based permutation test at the p < 0.001 level. Error bands reflect ±1 SEM. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
