Electrical neuroimaging of voluntary audiospatial attention: evidence for a supramodal attention control network.
Previous attempts to investigate the supramodal nature of attentional control have focused primarily on identifying neuroanatomical overlap in the frontoparietal systems activated during voluntary shifts of spatial attention in different sensory modalities. However, the activation of the same neural structures is insufficient evidence for a supramodal system, as the same brain regions could int...
متن کاملModality-Specific Control of Strategic Spatial Attention in Parietal Cortex
The neural basis of selective spatial attention presents a significant challenge to cognitive neuroscience. Recent neuroimaging studies have suggested that regions of the parietal and temporal cortex constitute a "supramodal" network that mediates goal-directed attention in multiple sensory modalities. Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to determine which cortical subregions c...

Attention shapes our expectations and perceptions: The neural mechanisms of top-down attention during adulthood and development By SNIGDHA BANERJEE Adviser: John J. Foxe, PhD Top-down attention is the focusing of attention at one’s will through knowledge regarding a current task. There is evidence that top-down attention involves the modulation of sensory cortices by higher order regions. Howev...
متن کاملEvaluating Cognitive Performance of Executive Control Based on Evidence from Attention Network Test and Event-Related Potential in Individuals with Mild Depressive Disorder and Burnout
Introduction: One of the secondary consequences of burnout is a significant reduction in cognitive functions, the most obvious and important of which is the cognitive function of attention and control, which can play a vital role in efficiency and prevention of errors at work in many occupations. On the other hand, a neurological examination is needed to understand better the relationship betwe...
متن کاملSupramodal executive control of attention
The human attentional system can be subdivided into three functional networks of alerting, orienting, and executive control. Although these networks have been extensively studied in the visuospatial modality, whether the same mechanisms are deployed across different sensory modalities remains unclear. In this study we used the attention network test for the visuospatial modality, in addition to...
