Attentional selection of location and modality in vision and touch modulates low-frequency activity in associated sensory cortices
Selective attention allows us to focus on particular sensory modalities and locations. Relatively little is known about how attention to a sensory modality may relate to selection of other features, such as spatial location, in terms of brain oscillations, although it has been proposed that low-frequency modulation (α- and β-bands) may be key. Here, we investigated how attention to space (left ...
متن کاملDirecting attention to locations and to sensory modalities: multiple levels of selective processing revealed with PET.
We used positron emission tomography (PET) to investigate the neural correlates of selective attention in humans. We examined the effects of attending to one side of space versus another (spatial selection) and to one sensory modality versus another (intermodal selection) during bilateral, bimodal stimulation of vision and touch. Attention toward one side resulted in greater activity in several...
متن کاملSustained Spatial Attention in Touch: Modality-Specific and Multimodal Mechanisms
Sustained attention to a body location results in enhanced processing of tactile stimuli presented at that location compared to another unattended location. In this paper, we review studies investigating the neural correlates of sustained spatial attention in touch. These studies consistently show that activity within modality-specific somatosensory areas (SI and SII) is modulated by sustained ...
متن کاملThe attentional selection of spatial and non-spatial attributes in touch: ERP evidence for parallel and independent processes.
To investigate the functional relationship between spatial and non-spatial attentional selectivity in somatosensory processing, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to mechanical tactile stimuli, which were delivered to the right or left hand, and were low or high in frequency (Experiment 1), or soft or strong in intensity (Experiment 2). Participants' task was to attend to a specific ...
متن کاملBrain Activity Map Extraction of Neuromyelitis Optica Patients Using Resting-State fMRI Data Based on Amplitude of Low Frequency Fluctuations and Regional Homogeneity Analysis
Introduction: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which generally affecting the spinal cord and optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve can result in the patient's dim vision or even blindness, while the spinal cord damage may lead to sensory and motor paralysis and the weakness of the lower limbs in the patient. Magnetic Reson...
