This review explores the pivotal role of attention in everyday life, emphasizing the
significance of studying attention-related brain functions. We delve into the development of …

Temporal attention is voluntarily deployed at specific moments, whereas temporal
expectation is deployed according to timing probabilities. When the target appears at an …

Psychophysical studies typically test attentional mechanisms in isolation, but in everyday life
they interact to optimize human behavior. We investigated whether spatial and temporal …

Attentional control over sensory processing has been linked to neural alpha oscillations and
related inhibition of cerebral cortex. Despite the wide consensus on the functional relevance …

Shortly before saccadic eye movements, visual sensitivity at the saccade target is enhanced,
at the expense of sensitivity elsewhere. Some behavioral and neural correlates of this …

With every saccadic eye movement, humans bring new information into their fovea to be
processed with high visual acuity. Notably, perception is enhanced already before a relevant …

Working memory enables us to bridge past sensory information to upcoming future
behaviour. Accordingly, by its very nature, working memory is concerned with two …

Brain circuitry that controls where we look also contributes to attentional selection of visual
contents outside current fixation, or content within the spatial layout of working memory. A …

How the prefrontal cortex contributes to working memory remains controversial, as theories
differ in their emphasis on its role in storing memories versus controlling their content. To …

Attention enables us to efficiently and flexibly interact with the environment by prioritizing
some image features in preparation for responding to a stimulus. Using a concurrent …
