Although we are continuously bombarded with visual input, only a fraction of incoming visual
events is perceived, remembered or acted on. The neural underpinnings of various forms of …

The ability to select information that is relevant to current behavioral goals is the hallmark of
voluntary attention and an essential part of our cognition. Attention tasks are a prime …

While signatures of attention have been extensively studied in sensory systems, the neural
sources and computations responsible for top-down control of attention are largely …

Interhemispheric communication through the corpus callosum is required for both sensory
and cognitive processes. Impaired transcallosal inhibition causing interhemispheric …

Attention is one of the most thoroughly investigated psychological phenomena, yet
skepticism about attention is widespread: we do not know what it is, it is too many things …

The second edition of this comprehensive textbook for students of Neuropsychology gives a
thorough overview of the complex relationship between brain and behaviour. With an …

The flanker task is a test of visual selective attention that has been widely used to probe
error monitoring, response conflict, and related constructs. However, to date, few studies …

The processes of attention and working memory are conspicuously interlinked, suggesting
that they may involve overlapping neural mechanisms. Working memory (WM) is the ability …

The frontal cortex, especially the anterior cingulate cortex area (ACA), is essential for
exerting cognitive control after errors, but the mechanisms that enable modulation of …

Prefrontal cortex modulates sensory signals in extrastriate visual cortex, in part via its direct
projections from the frontal eye field (FEF), an area involved in selective attention. We find …
