Research on spatial attention traditionally focuses on how it is influenced by the location of
objects within the visual environment and by expectations about those objects. However, a …

Facilitation of visual processing has been reported in the space near the hand. To
understand the underlying mechanism of hand proximity attention, we conducted …

The hand proximity effect (nearby hands influence visual processing) reflects the integration
of vision and proprioception for upcoming action; it is reduced when hand position is …

We explored neural processing differences associated with aging across four cognitive
functions. In addition to ERP analysis, we included task-related microstate analyses, which …

Behavioral studies document a functional hand proximity effect: objects near the palm, but
not the back of the hand, affect visual processing. Although visuotactile bimodal neurons …

Previous research has shown that attention can be biased to targets appearing near the
hand that require action responses, arguing that attention to the hand facilitates upcoming …

With the advent of mobile screens, online advertisements are viewed on screens held in
various positions, from horizontal (such as when the tablet is rested on a table or on the …

Human perceptual and attentional systems operate to help us perform functional and
adaptive actions in the world around us, such as grabbing our cup of coffee or using a tennis …

Two decades of research indicate that visual processing is typically enhanced for items that
are in the space near the hands (near-hand space). Enhanced attention and cognitive …
