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 …

We investigated how the brain integrates motivational and attentional signals by using a
neuroimaging paradigm that provided separate estimates for transient cue-and target …

Reward outcome signalling in the sensory cortex is held as important for linking stimuli to
their consequences and for modulating perceptual learning in response to incentives …

Appetitive stimuli such as monetary incentives often improve performance whereas aversive
stimuli such as task-irrelevant negative stimuli frequently impair performance. But our …

Past reward associations may be signaled from different sensory modalities; however, it
remains unclear how different types of reward-associated stimuli modulate sensory …

Although neural signals of reward anticipation have been studied extensively, the functional
relationship between reward and attention has remained unclear: Neural signals implicated …

The prospect of reward changes how we think and behave. We investigated how this occurs
in the brain using a novel continuous performance task in which fluctuating reward …

Humans reliably learn which actions lead to rewards. One prominent question is how credit
is assigned to environmental stimuli that are acted upon. Recent functional magnetic …

A great deal of human behavior and motivation is based on the intrinsic emotional
significance of rewarding or aversive events, as well as on the associations formed between …

Stimulus-reward coupling without attention can induce highly specific perceptual learning
effects, suggesting that reward triggers selective plasticity within visual cortex. Additionally …
