Visual area V4 is a midtier cortical area in the ventral visual pathway. It is crucial for visual
object recognition and has been a focus of many studies on visual attention. However, there …

Spatial attention and eye-movements are tightly coupled, but the precise nature of this
coupling is controversial. The influential but controversial Premotor theory of attention makes …

Shifts of gaze and shifts of attention are closely linked and it is debated whether they result
from the same neural mechanisms. Both processes involve the frontal eye fields (FEF), an …

Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) plays an important role in the planning and control of goal-
directed action. Single-unit studies in monkeys have identified reach-specific areas in the …

This study investigated how visual attention differed between those who correctly versus
incorrectly answered introductory physics problems. We recorded eye movements of 24 …

Covert attention is tightly coupled with the control of eye movements, but there is controversy
about how tight this coupling is. The premotor theory of attention proposes that activation of …

A proposal that the syntactic structure of a sentence reporting a concrete episode in the
world can be interpreted as a description of the sensorimotor processes involved in …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques allow definition of cortical nodes
that are presumed to be components of large-scale distributed brain networks involved in …

Growing evidence indicates that planning eye movements and orienting visuospatial
attention share overlapping brain mechanisms. A tight link between endogenous attention …

Along history of philosophical thought and empirical psychological research has taught us to
accept the counterintuitive notion that our perception is highly biased. Perception does not …
