Thalamocortical circuitry involved in ST-Mindfulness and somatosensory attentional modulation of alpha rhythms. Attentionally driven increases in alpha rhythm power broadly suppress sensory throughput in the unattended area (via thalamocortical mechanisms); spatially specific suppression of alpha facilitates sensory throughput in the attended area from the sensory periphery to the thalamus and on to the cortex.
