This study examines age differences in aperiodic neural activity using resting EEG, finding that older adults have flatter 1/f-like slopes and lower broadband power, which affects alpha oscillation measures.

This study investigates how alpha power relates to inhibiting anticipated distractors in verbal working memory, finding increased alpha power before distractors but no effect of distractor strength.

This study examines how alpha oscillations change with working memory load in young and older adults, finding similar load-dependent patterns but differences in alpha power during retention.
