Recent neuroimaging studies have implicated the posterior parietal cortex in episodic
memory retrieval, but there is uncertainty about its specific role. Research in the attentional …

This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and
Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature clearly and concisely, illustrating it …

Fast, parallel word recognition, in expert readers, relies on sectors of the left ventral occipito-
temporal pathway collectively known as the visual word form area. This expertise is thought …

How does the human brain integrate information from multiple domains to guide spatial
attention according to motivational needs? To address this question, we measured …

Numerical and spatial cognition rely on common functional circuits in the parietal lobes of
the brain [1]. While previous work has established that the mere perception of numbers can …

Selective attention is an intrinsic component of perceptual representation in a visual system
that is hierarchically organized. Modulatory signals originate in brain regions that represent …

Neuronal activity in area LIP is correlated with the perceived direction of ambiguous
apparent motion (ZM Williams, JC Elfar, EN Eskandar, LJ Toth, & JA Assad, 2003). Here we …

It has long been known that the brain is limited in the amount of sensory information that it
can process at any given time. A well-known form of capacity limitation in vision is the set …

The use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine mental imagery of
locomotion has become an attractive way to investigate supraspinal gait control in humans …

Flexible behavior in humans often requires that rapid choices be made between conflicting
action plans. Although much attention has focused on prefrontal regions, little is understood …
