This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

Attention allows us to select relevant sensory information for preferential processing.
Behaviourally, it improves performance in various visual tasks. One prominent effect of …

Computational theories propose that attention modulates the topographical landscape of
spatial'priority'maps in regions of the visual cortex so that the location of an important object …

One longstanding question is how early in the visual system attention exerts its influence.
Here we show that an effect of attention can be measured at the earliest possible stage of …

We employed brain–behavior analyses to explore the relationship between performance on
tasks measuring phonological awareness, pseudoword decoding, and rapid auditory …

The second edition of this comprehensive textbook for students of Neuropsychology gives a
thorough overview of the complex relationship between brain and behaviour. With an …

Adult visual performance differs with angular location–it is better for stimuli along the
horizontal than vertical, and lower than upper vertical meridian of the visual field. These …

The anatomy of cerebral cortex is characterized by two genetically independent variables,
cortical thickness and cortical surface area, that jointly determine cortical volume. It remains …

To form a percept of the multisensory world, the brain needs to integrate signals from
common sources weighted by their reliabilities and segregate those from independent …

The pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus is suspected to have an important role in visual
attention, based on its widespread connectivity with the visual cortex and the fronto-parietal …
