The occurrence of infraslow potential oscillations (ISPOs) of the brain was investigated during a listening and a resting condition in 44 subjects (Ss) with high (HAC) and low ability to concentrate (LAC). The occurrence of ISPOs was found in 36% of the Ss. While in the HAC group the occurrence of ISPOs did not change from listening to resting, in the LAC group Ss with ISPOs were affected by experimental conditions, showing ISPOs during the listening condition. For Ss with ISPOs only during listening a lower score was found for ability to concentrate, suggesting ISPOs as a possible underlying mechanism. For Ss with stable ISPOs a higher I.Q. was found compared to Ss without ISPOs.
