While the visual environment contains massive amounts of information, we should not and
cannot pay attention to all events. Instead, we need to direct attention to those events that …

Researchers have long debated whether salient stimuli can involuntarily 'capture'visual
attention. We review here evidence for a recently discovered inhibitory mechanism that may …

ERP experiments generate massive datasets, often containing thousands of values for each
participant, even after averaging. The richness of these datasets can be very useful in testing …

Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

Event-related potentials (ERPs) have been used for decades to study perception, cognition,
emotion, neurological and psychiatric disorders, and lifespan development. ERPs consist of …

Due to their ability to capture attention, emotional stimuli tend to benefit from enhanced
perceptual processing, which can be helpful when such stimuli are task-relevant but …

Our ability to focus on goal‐relevant aspects of the environment is critically dependent on
our ability to ignore or inhibit distracting information. One perspective is that distractor …

The present paper argues for the notion that when attention is spread across the visual field
in the first sweep of information through the brain visual selection is completely stimulus …

Current knowledge on the architecture of exogenous attention (also called automatic, bottom-
up, or stimulus-driven attention, among other terms) has been mainly obtained from studies …

An essential guide to designing, conducting, and analyzing event-related potential (ERP)
experiments, completely updated for this edition. The event-related potential (ERP) …
