TL;DR: The component that is localized in the parieto-occipital cortex in the noncued condition is thought to reflect a transient shift of attention toward the target location.

TL;DR: It is suggested that hyperexcitability also could be related to an immaturity or impairment of tonic inhibitory strength that typically develops in an activity-dependent process in the ascending auditory pathway with auditory experience, and can be part of an increased synchronization over a broader frequency range, linked to reduced spiking reliability.

TL;DR: Psychophysical techniques for detection of functional defects and documentation of eventual recovery, as well as matching neuroimaging findings, are demonstrated by illustrative cases.

TL;DR: The method is applied to real magnetoencephalographic data measured during a visuo-tactile cognitive experiment, showing values of causal coupling consistent with the hypothesis of a cross-processing of different sensory modalities.

TL;DR: Using temporal differences in human fMRI activation profiles during a tactile discrimination task with immediate versus experimentally delayed behavioral responses, a linear functional gradient is derived across task‐related brain areas in terms of their relative dependence on sensory input versus motor output.
