1 INTRODUCTION Perception is not simply the passive reception of stimuli from the physical environment. Instead, it is the outcome of the interaction between incoming sensory stimulation and the current state of the brain (Arieli et al., 1996).

Contradictory Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.03.14.532551 Abstract Ongoing brain activity preceding visual stimulation has been suggested to shape conscious perception. The underlying mechanisms are still under debate, although alpha oscillations have been pointed out as the main explanatory candidate. According to the pulsed-inhibition framework, bouts of functional inhibition arise in each alpha cycle, allowing information to be processed in a pulsatile manner.
