One of the most popular experimental paradigms for functional neuroimaging studies of
working memory has been the n‐back task, in which subjects are asked to monitor the …

The authors propose that there are 2 different mechanisms whereby spatial cues capture
attention. The voluntary mechanism is the strategic allocation of perceptual resources to the …

A key property of neural processing in higher mammals is the ability to focus resources by
selectively directing attention to relevant perceptions, thoughts or actions. Research into …

Passive viewing of biological motion engages extensive regions of the posterior temporal-
occipital cortex in humans, particularly within and nearby the superior temporal sulcus …

Perceptual suppression of distractors may depend on both endogenous and exogenous
factors, such as attentional load of the current task and sensory competition among …

What you see is determined by what you attend to. At any given time, the environment
presents far more perceptual information than can be effectively processed. Visual attention …

Humans exhibit significant interindividual variability in behavioral reaction time (RT)
performance yet the underlying neural mechanisms for this variability remain largely …

Human vision is an active process that involves shifting attention across the visual scene,
with or without moving the eyes. Such shifts of attention can be generated at will …

The cognitive and neural bases of the ability to focus attention on information in one sensory
modality while ignoring information in another remain poorly understood. We hypothesized …

Introduction. Attention is the process that provides us with the capacity to select perceptions
or internal representations for conscious processing and action. Given that episodic memory …
