This study uses computational modeling and machine learning to show that alpha-band neural oscillations are involved in updating expectations during associative learning.

This study shows that fear conditioning leads to sparser neural representations of threat cues in primary visual cortex, associated with changes in alpha oscillations and BOLD signals.

This study shows that threat-related visual features do not interfere with task-related feature selection in visual cortex, despite causing visuocortical interference when both are present.
