It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

This paper is conceived as a guide that will describe the very well known Spatial Orienting
paradigm, used to explore attentional processes in healthy individuals as well as in people …

Using overt orienting, participants searched a complex visual scene for a camouflaged
target (Waldo from the “Where's Waldo?™” books). After several saccades, we presented an …

Subjects judged the elevation (up vs. down, regardless of laterality) of peripheral auditory or
visual targets, following uninformative cues on either side with an intermediate elevation …

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 …

Spatial attention and eye-movements are tightly coupled, but the precise nature of this
coupling is controversial. The influential but controversial Premotor theory of attention makes …

In 7 experiments we investigated cross-modal links for endogenous covert spatial orienting
in hearing and vision. Participants judged the elevation (up vs. down) of auditory or visual …

Unpredictive visual transient cues have a biphasic effect on reaction times (RTs) to
peripheral onset targets. At relatively short (eg, 150-msec) cue-target stimulus onset …

Three experiments investigated cross-modal links between touch, audition, and vision in the
control of covert exogenous orienting. In the first two experiments, participants made …

The term attentionhas been used in the title or abstract of over 40,000 journal articles, books,
and book chapters over the past 30 years. This greatly exceeds the 8,300 works that have …
