Frontal-to-Parietal Top-Down Causal Streams along the Dorsal Attention Network Exclusively Mediate Voluntary Orienting of Attention
Previous effective connectivity analyses of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have revealed dynamic causal streams along the dorsal attention network (DAN) during voluntary attentional control in the human brain. During resting state, however, fMRI has shown that the DAN is also intrinsically configured by functional connectivity, even in the absence of explicit task demands, and tha...
متن کاملCovert and overt voluntary attention: linked or independent?
Recent evidence indicates that reflexive shifts in spatial attention with eye movements (overt orienting) and without eye movements (covert orienting) can be dissociated [J. Exp. Psychol. Hum. Percept. Perform., in press]. Here, we show that a similar dissociation exists for voluntary shifts in overt and covert attention. Our study is consistent with general theories of attention that assume bo...
متن کاملReflexive and voluntary orienting of visual attention: time course of activation and resistance to interruption.
To study the mechanisms underlying covert orienting of attention in visual space, subjects were given advance cues indicating the probable locations of targets that they had to discriminate and localize. Direct peripheral cues (brightening of one of four boxes in peripheral vision) and symbolic central cues (an arrow at the fixation point indicating a probable peripheral box) were compared. Per...
متن کاملOrbitofrontal cortex biases attention to emotional events.
We examined the role of orbitofrontal (OF) cortex in regulating emotion-attention interaction and the balance between involuntary and voluntary attention allocation. We studied patients with OF lesion applying reaction time (RT) and event-related potential (ERP) measures in a lateralized visual discrimination task with novel task-irrelevant affective pictures (unpleasant, pleasant, or neutral) ...
متن کاملImproving the Efficacy of ERP-Based BCIs Using Different Modalities of Covert Visuospatial Attention and a Genetic Algorithm-Based Classifier
We investigated whether the covert orienting of visuospatial attention can be effectively used in a brain-computer interface guided by event-related potentials. Three visual interfaces were tested: one interface that activated voluntary orienting of visuospatial attention and two interfaces that elicited automatic orienting of visuospatial attention. We used two epoch classification procedures....
