When you say "no separation", do you mean that components all look the same?
I prefer topoplots to reconstruction, and I think from fig 3C components 3 and 4 may look similar but 3 is more lateralized. So I would say they are different.

I did ICA on LEMON, and I can confirm that for many participants I saw components like those in the preprint. Perhaps it's a patch-like source, not a point-like one.

Yeah, I presume after cessation of the inhibitory pulse there is some kind of rebound.

The question is rather why an increase in inhibition decreases alpha amplitude. It's somewhat logical, but it doesn't fit the theory that larger alpha amplitude = more inhibition🤔.

It's hard to see from first attempt
What is exactly that they meant.

Dynamics that in chaos dwell
Or in the ordered carousel
Is worse than critical, they claim,
If one's survival is the aim.

But then some studies had emerged,
From which results did not converge.
They then came up with other course,
It's quasi critical, of course.

Thank you! Still, it's all somewhat confusing. I can agree with "slightly sub-critical" narrative, but I wish it could be defined in more precise way.
