We review evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different
attentional functions. One system, which includes parts of the intraparietal cortex and …

Functional neuroimaging studies have started unravelling unexpected functional attributes
for the posteromedial portion of the parietal lobe, the precuneus. This cortical area has …

The right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) is frequently associated with different capacities
that to shift attention to unexpected stimuli (reorienting of attention) and to understand …

Disinhibition is a common focus in psychopathology research. However, use of inhibition-
models often is piecemeal, lacking an overarching taxonomy of inhibitory processes. The …

During social interactions, people's eyes convey a wealth of information about their direction
of attention and their emotional and mental states. This review aims to provide a …

Selective visual attention involves dynamic interplay between attentional control systems
and sensory brain structures. We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging …

The first steps in the process of reading a printed word belong to the domain of visual object
perception. They culminate in a representation of letter strings as an ordered set of abstract …

Orienting of spatial attention is a family of phylogenetically old mechanisms developed to
select information for further processing. Information can be selected via top-down or …

Although most studies of visual attention have examined the effects of shifting attention
between different locations in the visual field, attention can also be directed to particular …

Event‐related potentials and ongoing oscillatory electroencephalogram (EEG) activity were
measured while subjects performed a cued visual spatial attention task. They were …
