Brain activity during divided and selective attention to auditory and visual sentence comprehension tasks
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we measured brain activity of human participants while they performed a sentence congruence judgment task in either the visual or auditory modality separately, or in both modalities simultaneously. Significant performance decrements were observed when attention was divided between the two modalities compared with when one modality was selectiv...
متن کاملActivations of Human Auditory Cortex During Visual and Auditory Selective Attention Tasks with Varying Difficulty
The present study was designed to directly test the hypothesis that suppression of activations to task-irrelevant sounds contributes to the attention-related modulations of auditory cortex (AC) activations observed in previous fMRI studies. Subjects selectively attended to auditory (broadband noise bursts with pitch) or visual (Gabor gratings) asynchronous fast-rate stimulus streams concurrentl...
متن کاملGender Differences in Auditory Perception and Computational Divided Attention Tasks
Women have been stereotyped as better multitaskers when compared to their male counterparts. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in gender performance when performing cognitive combined tasks. Twenty-four graduate students (twelve females and twelve males) volunteered to participate in the study. The task required participants to indicate when they perceiv...
متن کاملChanges in otoacoustic emissions during selective auditory and visual attention.
Previous studies have demonstrated that the otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) measured during behavioral tasks can have different magnitudes when subjects are attending selectively or not attending. The implication is that the cognitive and perceptual demands of a task can affect the first neural stage of auditory processing-the sensory receptors themselves. However, the directions of the reported a...
متن کاملDivided attention between simultaneous auditory and visual signals.
Past studies of simultaneous attention to pairs of visual stimuli have used the "dual-task" paradigm to show that identification of the direction of a change in luminance, whether incremental or decremental, is "capacity-limited," while simple detection of these changes is governed by "capacity-free" processes. On the basis of that finding, it has been suggested that the contrast between identi...
