Xenon and nitrous oxide induced changes in resting EEG activity can be explained by systematic increases in the relaxation rates of stochastically driven alpha band oscillatory activity

This paper models EEG activity under xenon and nitrous oxide as alpha band relaxation oscillators, finding increased damping correlates with reduced alpha power and 1/f scaling.

Alpha blocking and 1/fβ spectral scaling in resting EEG can be accounted for by a sum of damped alpha band oscillatory processes

This paper proposes a model where resting EEG's alpha band activity and 1/fβ noise are explained by damped alpha oscillators with varying damping rates, showing that alpha blocking results from increased damping of the weakest mode.
