One component of mindfulness training (MT) is the development of interoceptive attention
(IA) to visceral bodily sensations, facilitated through daily practices such as breath …

Little is known about how attention changes the cortical representation of sensory
information in humans. On the basis of neurophysiological evidence, we hypothesized that …

Visual area V4 is a midtier cortical area in the ventral visual pathway. It is crucial for visual
object recognition and has been a focus of many studies on visual attention. However, there …

Advances on several fronts have refined our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms of

The ability to select information that is relevant to current behavioral goals is the hallmark of
voluntary attention and an essential part of our cognition. Attention tasks are a prime …

Attention allows us to select relevant sensory information for preferential processing.
Behaviourally, it improves performance in various visual tasks. One prominent effect of …

As sensory stimuli and behavioral demands change, the attentive brain quickly identifies
task-relevant stimuli and associates them with appropriate motor responses. The effects of …

We process information from the world through multiple senses, and the brain must decide
