A) Attention task involving noisy and salient faces as target in one hemifield (targets with high and low perceptual loads respectively) and distractors in the other hemifield (noisy and salient distractors). B) In this example targets are presented to the right and distractors to the left. C) Alpha power contralateral to distractors was stronger in the high compared to low perceptual load condition. This difference in alpha power also correlated with the individual ability to ignore distracting stimuli. Reproduced from (236); used with permission.
