Combined effects of attention and motivation on visual task performance: transient and sustained motivational effects
We investigated how the brain integrates motivational and attentional signals by using a
neuroimaging paradigm that provided separate estimates for transient cue-and target …

Neural mechanisms of incentive salience in naturalistic human vision
What role does reward play in real-world human vision? Reward coding in the midbrain is
thought to cause the rapid prioritization of reward-associated visual stimuli. However …

Rewarding feedback after correct visual discriminations has both general and specific influences on visual cortex
Reward can influence visual performance, but the neural basis of this effect remains poorly
understood. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how …

Reward motivation enhances task coding in frontoparietal cortex
Reward motivation often enhances task performance, but the neural mechanisms underlying
such cognitive enhancement remain unclear. Here, we used a multivariate pattern analysis …

How motivation and reward learning modulate selective attention
Motivational stimuli such as rewards elicit adaptive responses and influence various
cognitive functions. Notably, increasing evidence suggests that stimuli with particular …

Valence, not utility, underlies reward-driven prioritization in human vision
Objects associated with reward draw attention and evoke enhanced activity in visual cortex.
What is the underlying mechanism? One possibility is that reward9s impact on vision is …
