Alpha is the strongest electrophysiological rhythm in awake humans at rest. Despite its predominance EEG signal, large variations can be observed alpha properties during development, with an increase frequency over childhood and adulthood. Here, we tested hypothesis that these changes are related to maturation of visual white matter pathways. We capitalized on a diffusion MRI (dMRI)-EEG dataset (dMRI
