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 …

Load Theory assumes that the extent of processing of task-irrelevant information depends
on the level (high vs. low load) and type (perceptual vs. working memory) of task load. In this …

Previous experience allows the brain to predict what comes next. How these expectations
affect conscious experience is poorly understood. In particular, it is unknown whether and …

While empathic responses of individuals with autism-spectrum disorder have been reported
to be modulated by top-down attention, it remains unclear whether empathy for pain in …

Multiple experiments have found sleep deprivation to lower task-related parietal and
extrastriate visual activation, suggesting a reduction of visual processing capacity in this …

Visual peripersonal space (ie, the space immediately surrounding the body) is represented
by multimodal neurons integrating tactile stimuli applied on a body part with visual stimuli …

Stress and perceptual load affect selective attention in a paradoxical manner. They can
facilitate selectivity or disrupt it. This EEG study was designed to examine the reciprocal …

The inattentional blindness phenomenon refers to situations in which a visible but
unexpected stimulus remains consciously unnoticed by observers. This phenomenon is …

Recent behavioral studies suggest that asymmetries in visuospatial orienting are modulated
by changes in the demand on nonspatial components of attention, but the brain correlates of …
