An investigation was conducted of a group of 4 children who reported having eidetic images. It was found that high‐amplitude occipital alpha activity occurs during eidetic periods, contrary to the usual observation in adults that visual imagery tends to block alpha waves. In addition, these children were found to have higher resting baseline alpha than their classmates.
