Interoception can be broadly defined as the sense of signals originating within the body. As
such, interoception is critical for our sense of embodiment, motivation, and well-being. And …

The ability to remain focused on goal-relevant stimuli in the presence of potentially
interfering distractors is crucial for any coherent cognitive function. However, simply …

Real-world experience is typically multimodal. Evidence indicates that the facilitation in the
detection of multisensory stimuli is modulated by the perceptual load, the amount of …

A load theory of attention in which distractor rejection depends on the level and type of load
involved in current processing was tested. A series of experiments demonstrates that …

The gamble has been to decision research what the fruit fly has been to biology–a vehicle
for examining fundamental processes with presumably important implications outside the …

Selective attention allows us to ignore what is task-irrelevant and focus on what is task-
relevant. The cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie this process are key topics of …

Abstract [Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 42 (9) of Journal of
Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance (see record 2016-40781 …

In this review we examine how attention is involved in detecting faces, recognizing facial
identity and registering and discriminating between facial expressions of emotion. The first …

Perceptual load is a key determinant of distraction by task-irrelevant stimuli (eg, Lavie,
N.(2005). Distracted and confused?: Selective attention under load. Trends in Cognitive …

Several research groups have identified a network of regions of the adult cortex that are
activated during social perception and cognition tasks. In this paper we focus on the …
