Selective attention allows us to ignore what is task-irrelevant and focus on what is task-
relevant. The cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie this process are key topics of …

An increasing number of human electroencephalography (EEG) studies examining the
earliest component of the visual evoked potential, the so-called C1, have cast doubts on the …

Emotional facial expressions lead to modulations of early event-related potentials (ERPs).
However, it has so far remained unclear how far these modulations represent face-specific …

The event-related potential (ERP) and event-related field (ERF) techniques provide valuable
insights into the time course of processes in the brain. Because neural signals are typically …

Load Theory assumes that the extent of processing of task-irrelevant information depends
on the level (high vs. low load) and type (perceptual vs. working memory) of task load. In this …

The earliest cortical location at which attention influences visual processing is controversial.
To address this issue, the C1 and P1 components of cue-elicited ERPs were examined in a …

Neuroaesthetic research suggests that aesthetic appreciation results from the interaction
between the object perceptual features and the perceiver's sensory processing dynamics. In …

This study investigated the effects of attentional load on neural responses to attended and
irrelevant visual stimuli by recording high‐density event‐related potentials (ERPs) from the …

Digital media are sensory-rich, multimodal, and often highly interactive. An extensive
collection of theories and models within the field of media psychology assume the …

Converging electrophysiological and brain-imaging results show that sensory processing in
V1 can be modulated by attention. In this study, we tested the prediction that this early …
