Contextual cues are predictive and provide behaviorally relevant information; they are not
the main objective of the current task but can make behavior more efficient. Using fMRI, we …

Visual search can be facilitated by the learning of spatial configurations that predict the
location of a target among distractors. Neuropsychological and functional magnetic …

Abstract Objects play an important role in guiding spatial attention through a cluttered visual
environment. We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (ER-fMRI) to …

Attention prioritizes information that is most relevant to current behavioral goals. This
prioritization can be accomplished by amplifying neural responses to goal-relevant …

Humans survive in environments that contain a vast quantity and variety of visual
information. All items of perceived visual information must be represented within a limited …

The deployment of visuospatial attention and the programming of saccades are governed by
the inferred likelihood of events. In the present study, we combined computational modeling …

Using a combination of eye tracking and fMRI in a contextual cueing task, we explored the
mechanisms underlying the facilitation of visual search for repeated spatial configurations …

Estimating reward contingencies and allocating attentional resources to a subset of relevant
information are the most important contributors to increasing adaptability of an organism …

Cognitive control and working memory rely upon a common fronto-parietal network that
includes the inferior frontal junction (IFJ), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), pre …

Cognitive control allows stimulus-response processing to be aligned with internal goals and
is thus central to intelligent, purposeful behavior. Control is thought to depend in part on the …
