of working memory load (Gevins et al., 1997; Jensen and Tesche, 2002; Krause et al., 2000; McEvoy et al., 2001). Missonnier et al. (2006) investigated the relative contribution of attentional demand and working memory on frontal θ ERS in a visual detection task and concluded that “phasic θ response over frontal regions primarily reflects the activation of neural networks involved in allocation of attention related to target stimuli rather than working memory processes”.
