An influential hypothesis from the last decade proposed that regions within the right inferior
frontal cortex of the human brain were dedicated to supporting response inhibition. There is …

Spatial-attentional deficits are highly prevalent following stroke. They can be clinically
detected by means of conventional bedside tests such as target cancellation, line bisection …

To understand the meanings of words and objects, we need to have knowledge about these
items themselves plus executive mechanisms that compute and manipulate semantic …

Based on lesion mapping studies, the inferior parietal lobule and temporoparietal junction
are considered the critical parietal regions for spatial-attentional deficits. Lesion evidence for …

The notion of a saliency-based processing architecture underlying human vision is central to
a number of current theories of visual selective attention. On this view, focal-attention is …

Perceptual learning is associated with experience-based changes in stimulus salience.
Here, we use a novel procedure to show that learning a new association between a self …

Whether an object captures our attention depends on its bottom-up salience, that is, how
different it is compared with its neighbors, and top-down control, that is, our current inner …

A hallmark of human social interaction is the ability to consider other people's mental states,
such as what they see, believe, or desire. Prior neuroimaging research has predominantly …

Viewing behavior exhibits temporal and spatial structure that is independent of stimulus
content and task goals. One example of such structure is horizontal biases, which are likely …

How do we ignore stimuli that are salient but irrelevant when our task is to select a lower
salient stimulus? Since bottom–up processes favor high saliency, detection of a low-salient …
