Transient human auditory cortex activation during volitional attention shifting
While strong activation of auditory cortex is generally found for exogenous orienting of attention, endogenous, intra-modal shifting of auditory attention has not yet been demonstrated to evoke transient activation of the auditory cortex. Here, we used fMRI to test if endogenous shifting of attention is also associated with transient activation of the auditory cortex. In contrast to previous st...
متن کاملShifting attentional priorities: control of spatial attention through hemispheric competition.
Regions of frontal and posterior parietal cortex are known to control the allocation of spatial attention across the visual field. However, the neural mechanisms underlying attentional control in the intact human brain remain unclear, with some studies supporting a hemispatial theory emphasizing a dominant function of the right hemisphere and others supporting an interhemispheric competition th...
متن کاملShifting attention to neurons.
Cavanagh et al. [1] challenge the traditional idea that neuronal activity caused by impending saccades alters receptive field (RF) locations. The authors argue, instead, that saccade-related signals cause shifts of attentional pointers that lack information about object identity but influence visual regions that encode object properties. We agree that the relationship between attention and rema...
متن کاملShifting attention between the space of the body and external space: electrophysiological correlates of visual-nociceptive crossmodal spatial attention.
The study tested whether nociceptive stimuli applied to a body limb can orient spatial attention in external space toward visual stimuli delivered close to that limb. Nociceptive stimuli were applied to either the left or the right hand. Task-relevant visual stimuli were delivered at the location adjacent to the stimulated hand (70% valid trials) or adjacent to the other hand (30% invalid trial...
متن کاملAuditory attention to space and frequency activates similar cerebral systems.
PET was used to test the hypothesis that similar neural systems are involved in attending to spectral and to spatial features of sounds. In each of four conditions subjects heard tones varying randomly in frequency and location and responded to either the low- or the high-frequency stimuli, ignoring location, or to stimuli on the left or right, ignoring frequency. In comparison to a silent base...
