Detecting attention‐related rhythms: When is behavior not enough? (Commentary on van der Werf et al. 2021)

Recent research suggests that environmental sampling is a fundamentally rhythmic process (Benedetto, Morrone, & Tomassini, 2019; Fiebelkorn & Kastner, 2019; Schroeder, Wilson, Radman, Scharfman, & Lakatos, 2010). In primates, both attention-related sampling and exploratory eye movements are seemingly shaped by theta-band activity (3-8 Hz) in the large-scale network that directs both spatial attention and goal-directed eye movements (i.e., the 'attention network').
