Common and distinct neural mechanisms of attention

R **a, X Chen, TA Engel, T Moore - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2024 - cell.com
Despite a constant deluge of sensory stimulation, only a fraction of it is used to guide
behavior. This selective processing is generally referred to as attention, and much research …

Rhythms of human attention and memory: An embedded process perspective

M Köster, T Gruber - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2022 - frontiersin.org
It remains a dogma in cognitive neuroscience to separate human attention and memory into
distinct modules and processes. Here we propose that brain rhythms reflect the embedded …

Putative rhythms in attentional switching can be explained by aperiodic temporal structure

G Brookshire - Nature human behaviour, 2022 - nature.com
The neural and perceptual effects of attention were traditionally assumed to be sustained
over time, but recent work suggests that covert attention rhythmically switches between …

Natural rhythms of periodic temporal attention

A Zalta, S Petkoski, B Morillon - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
That attention is a fundamentally rhythmic process has recently received abundant empirical
evidence. The essence of temporal attention, however, is to flexibly focus in time. Whether …

Two oscillatory correlates of attention control in the alpha-band with distinct consequences on perceptual gain and metacognition

J Trajkovic, F Di Gregorio, A Avenanti, G Thut… - Journal of …, 2023 - jneurosci.org
Behavioral consequences and neural underpinnings of visuospatial attention have long
been investigated. Classical studies using the Posner paradigm have found that visual …

Hippocampal theta coordinates memory processing during visual exploration

JE Kragel, S VanHaerents, JW Templer, S Schuele… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
The hippocampus supports memory encoding and retrieval, which may occur at distinct
phases of the theta cycle. These processes dynamically interact over rapid timescales …

Theta-rhythmic oscillation of working memory performance

U Pomper, U Ansorge - Psychological science, 2021 - journals.sagepub.com
Representations held in working memory are crucial in guiding human attention in a goal-
directed fashion. Currently, it is debated whether only a single representation or several of …

The capacity of multiple-target search

E Ort, CNL Olivers - Visual Cognition, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
Can individuals look for multiple objects at the same time? A simple question, but answering
it has proven difficult. In this review, we describe possible cognitive architectures and their …

Attention control in the primate brain

R Boshra, S Kastner - Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2022 - Elsevier
Attention is fundamental to all cognition. In the primate brain, it is implemented by a large-
scale network that consists of areas spanning across all major lobes, also including …

Rhythmic sampling revisited: experimental paradigms and neural mechanisms

R Kienitz, MC Schmid, L Dugué - European Journal of …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Sampling of information is thought to be an important aspect of explorative behaviour.
Evidence for it has been gained in behavioural assessments of a variety of overt and covert …
