Top-down controlled alpha band activity in somatosensory areas determines behavioral performance in a discrimination task.
The brain receives a rich flow of information which must be processed according to behavioral relevance. How is the state of the sensory system adjusted to up- or downregulate processing according to anticipation? We used magnetoencephalography to investigate whether prestimulus alpha band activity (8-14 Hz) reflects allocation of attentional resources in the human somatosensory system. Subject...
متن کاملLearning selective top-down control enhances performance in a visual categorization task Top-down control in learning a categorization task
We model the putative neuronal and synaptic mechanisms involved in learning a visual categorization task, taking inspiration from single-cell recordings in inferior temporal cortex (ITC). Our working hypothesis is that learning the categorization task involves both bottom-up, ITC to pre-frontal cortex (PFC), and top-down (PFC to ITC) synaptic plasticity, and that the latter enhances the selecti...

متن کاملTop-down attentional processing enhances auditory evoked gamma band activity.
In contrast to animal studies, relatively little is known about the functional significance of the early evoked gamma band activity in humans. We investigated whether evoked and induced 40 Hz activity differentiate automatic, bottom-up aspects of attention from voluntary, top-down related attentional demands. An auditory novelty-oddball task was applied to 14 healthy subjects. As predicted, mor...
متن کاملTop-down attentional control in spatially coincident stimuli enhances activity in both task-relevant and task-irrelevant regions of cortex.
Models of selective attention predict that focused attention to spatially contiguous stimuli may result in enhanced activity in areas of cortex specialized for processing task-relevant and task-irrelevant information. We examined this hypothesis by localizing color-sensitive areas (CSA) and word and letter sensitive areas of cortex and then examining modulation of these regions during performan...
