EEG brain waves and alpha rhythms: Past, current and future direction

Nearly a century after the first EEG recordings, we assess the progress made in EEG research, focusing on the challenges, novel theories and methods, and key issues identified by the new generation of researchers. This article summarizes the main topics discussed at the symposium "Oscillatory Brain Waves: Mechanisms, Functions, and Clinical Perspectives", with the goal of providing a roadmap for future research and offering a broad perspective on the field.
