Attention is the important ability to flexibly control limited computational resources. It has
been studied in conjunction with many other topics in neuroscience and psychology …

Carrying out any everyday task, be it driving in traffic, conversing with friends or playing
basketball, requires rapid selection, integration and segregation of stimuli from different …

In humans, Attention is a core property of all perceptual and cognitive operations. Given our
limited ability to process competing sources, attention mechanisms select, modulate, and …

Attention is a core property of all perceptual and cognitive operations. Given limited capacity
to process competing options, attentional mechanisms select, modulate, and sustain focus …

For years we have known that cortical neurons collectively have synchronous or oscillatory
patterns of activity, the frequencies and temporal dynamics of which are associated with …

We show that the affective experience of touch and the sight of touch can be modulated by
cognition, and investigate in an fMRI study where top-down cognitive modulations of bottom …

In a simple reaction time (RT) task, normal observers responded faster to simultaneous
visual and tactile stimuli than to single visual or tactile stimuli. RT to simultaneous visual and …

Recent research on the mechanisms of neuroplasticity has led to great advances in our
understanding of the adaptive capacity of the nervous system [1]. This, in turn, has led to an …

Attention to sensory stimulation modulates behavioural responses and cortical activity.
Attention to movement can also modulate motor responses. For example, directing attention …

Some of the principles of the representation of affective touch in the brain are described.
Positively affective touch and temperature are represented in parts of the orbitofrontal and …
