Attention as Intensifying sensation.

Sensation-to-cognition cortical streams in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

We sought to determine whether functional connectivity streams that link sensory, attentional, and higher-order cognitive circuits are atypical in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We applied a graph-theory method to the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 120 children with ADHD and 120 age-matched typically developing children (TDC). Starting in unimodal ...

Focal visual attention produces illusory temporal order and motion sensation.

Spatial attention was studied using a new visual illusion of motion: a line, which was presented physically at once, was perceived to be drawn from one side when attention had been captured to that side of the line by a preceding visual cue stimulus. By comparing with a temporal order task, we showed that the line-motion illusion was produced by acceleration of visual information processing at ...

Visual Motion Sensation Yielded by Non-visually Driven Attention

When a visual stimulus (the "cue") is presented and followed by a line, the line is perceived to grow rapidly from the cued side even when it is presented physically simultaneously (the "line-motion effect"). We now report that the same line motion can be observed when the cue is presented in a non-visual modality, such as auditory or somatosensory. A beep sound was presented either from the le...

Intensifying Prefixes in the Etymologies

The Etymologies (as found in The Lost Road and in the “Addenda and Corrigenda to the Etymologies” published in Vinyar Tengwar 45 and 46) include several examples of forms that are denoted as “intensified” by Tolkien, among them those that are formed by a prefix. The entry A‐ (VT45:5) is perhaps the best starting point for a classification of these intensified forms. We learn there of an intensi...
