Oculomotor activity and the alpha rhythm.
From the beginning of clinical use of the EEG until now a close connection with oculomotor activity was assumed and empirically proven. After giving a sketch of the historical development, the issue is extended to the question of a connection between task-related alpha asymmetries and oculomotor activity. In doing so, the concepts of attention and cognition/emotion have to be dealt with. Referring to Kinsbourne, a conceptual framework is outlined which allows a mediation of the different methodical perspectives and thereby the formulation of testable hypotheses.
