Abstract
The purpose of this review is to explore the dynamic properties of alpha oscillations as biological covariates of intra- and inter-individual variance in saccadic behavior. A preponderance of research suggests that oscillatory dynamics in the alpha band co-vary with performance on a number of visuo-spatial cognitive tasks. Here we discuss a growing body of research relating these measures to saccadic behavior, focusing also on how task related and spontaneous measures of alpha oscillations may serve as potential biomarkers for ocular motor dysfunction in clinical populations.
