Cognitive Control Signals in Visual Cortex: Flashes Meet Spotlights
At the intersection of two intensely belabored fields, primary visual cortex (V1) function and neural mechanisms of cognitive control, Jack et al. (in this issue of Neuron) report a neural signal that is neither related to stimulus representation nor spatial attention. Instead, this endogenous signal correlates with task structure and raises new questions.
متن کاملCognitive Control Signals in Posterior Cingulate Cortex
Efficiently shifting between tasks is a central function of cognitive control. The role of the default network - a constellation of areas with high baseline activity that declines during task performance - in cognitive control remains poorly understood. We hypothesized that task switching demands cognitive control to shift the balance of processing toward the external world, and therefore predi...
متن کاملMultiple Spotlights of Attentional Selection in Human Visual Cortex
Spatially directed attention strongly enhances visual perceptual processing. The metaphor of the "spotlight" has long been used to describe spatial attention; however, there has been considerable debate as to whether spatial attention must be unitary or may be split between discrete regions of space. This question was addressed here through functional MR imaging of human subjects as they perfor...
متن کاملVisual attention: Spotlights, highlights and visual awareness
The phenomenon of visual attention has long fascinated scientists interested in higher functions of the brain. Introspection suggests that attention exerts a powerful influence on the flow of visual information within our brains: everyone is familiar with the experience of attending so intently to a particular object in the visual world that he/she is oblivious to other salient stimuli present ...
متن کاملNeuroimaging weighs in: humans meet macaques in "primate" visual cortex.
From pseudocolor to action potentials, and back One of the most pressing questions now is what does fMRI “activity” indicate, in terms of (electrical) neural activity (Logothetis et al., 2001). Current conclusions about the fMRI– electrophysiology relationship may change as data are acquired from brain areas beyond primary visual cortex, after testing additional stimuli and using different expe...
