Demonstrations of a relationship between human 8 to 13 per second (alpha) electroencephalographic activity and simple visual reaction time can be made at reliable levels of confidence by (i) sampling reaction times to stimuli given at phases of the alpha cycle 10 msec apart, (ii) selecting the phase with the slowest reaction times, and (iii) collecting enough reaction times to stimuli at this and some other control phase for statistical comparison.
通过以下方式可以在可靠的置信水平上证明人类每秒8至13次（阿尔法）脑电图活动与简单视觉反应时间之间的关系：（i）对阿尔法周期中相隔10毫秒的各阶段所给予刺激的反应时间进行采样；（ii）选择反应时间最慢的阶段；（iii）收集足够多针对此阶段及其他一些对照阶段刺激的反应时间，以便进行统计比较。
