Strong pre-stimulus alpha power enhances iconic memory performance, improving initial stimulus availability.
Performance peaks at short stimulus-cue onset asynchronies, then declines as iconic memory decays.
Spontaneous alpha fluctuations modulate neuronal excitability, suppressing irrelevant stimulus processing.
Findings highlight a novel connection between alpha oscillations and short-term memory capacity.
