Research on executive functioning and on self-regulation have each identified a critical
resource that is central to that domain and is susceptible to depletion. In addition, studies …

The anti-saccade task has emerged as an important task for investigating the flexible control
that we have over behaviour. In this task, participants must suppress the reflexive urge to …

The salience map is a crucial concept for many theories of visual attention. On this map,
each object in the scene competes for selection–the more conspicuous the object, the …

The neural pathways and brain regions involved in eye movements during ocular fixation
and gaze control include the cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum, and abnormal eye …

Several widely accepted models of decision making suggest that, during simple decision
tasks, neural activity builds up until a threshold is reached and a decision is made. These …

The stop-signal task has been used to study normal cognitive control and clinical
dysfunction. Its utility is derived from a race model that accounts for performance and …

Growing evidence from primate neurophysiology and modeling indicates that in reaction
time tasks, a perceptual choice is made when the firing rate of a selective cortical neural …

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by the overt symptoms of
impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and inattention. A frontostriatal pathophysiology has been …

Four experiments were conducted to investigate the role of stimulus-driven and goal-driven
control in saccadic eye movements. Participants were required to make a speeded saccade …

Neuronal processing in cerebral cortex and signal transmission from cortex to brain stem
have been studied extensively, but little is known about the numerous feedback pathways …
