Neural mechanisms of social attention.
Social attention is conveyed primarily by gaze, but also by head and body orientation. These cues not only signal a seen agent's direction of attention but are also used to infer their current goals and intentions. Here, we review recent research showing that different gaze, head and body orientations are represented by distinct neural mechanisms, and show that a statistical summary of recent n...
متن کاملAttention shapes our expectations and perceptions: The neural mechanisms of top-down attention during adulthood and development
Attention shapes our expectations and perceptions: The neural mechanisms of top-down attention during adulthood and development By SNIGDHA BANERJEE Adviser: John J. Foxe, PhD Top-down attention is the focusing of attention at one’s will through knowledge regarding a current task. There is evidence that top-down attention involves the modulation of sensory cortices by higher order regions. Howev...
متن کاملAre we losing our edge?
Gabriel Aeppli was born in Switzerland, but when he was 1 year old, his father came to the U.S. to pursue a career as a mathematician. Back then, America was a scientific "city on the hill," a place where enormous resources, academic freedom, a tradition of skepticism and a history of excellence lured everyone from astronomers to zoologists from all over the world, and like Aeppli's father, man...
متن کاملLosing the Big Picture: How Religion May Control Visual Attention
Despite the abundance of evidence that human perception is penetrated by beliefs and expectations, scientific research so far has entirely neglected the possible impact of religious background on attention. Here we show that Dutch Calvinists and atheists, brought up in the same country and culture and controlled for race, intelligence, sex, and age, differ with respect to the way they attend to...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of visual selective attention.
Visual selective attention improves our perception and performance by modifying sensory inputs at an early stage of processing. Spatial attention produces the most consistent early modulations of visual processing, which can be observed when attention is voluntarily allocated to locations. These effects of spatial attention are similar when attention is cued in a trial-by-trial, or sustained, f...
