In the Zone or Zoning Out? Tracking Behavioral and Neural Fluctuations During Sustained Attention

Michael Esterman, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: A novel task is introduced, along with innovative analysis procedures that probe the relationships between reaction time (RT) variability, attention lapses, and intrinsic brain activity, and represent an important step forward in linking intrinsicbrain activity to behavioral phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Avoiding non-independence in fMRI data analysis: leave one subject out.

Michael Esterman, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2010 - 
TL;DR: This report proposes a simple, practical solution to reduce bias in secondary tests due to non-independence using a leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) approach, and shows how it reduces effect size inflation and suggests that it can serve as a functional localizer when within-subject methods are impractical.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamic Brain Network Correlates of Spontaneous Fluctuations in Attention

Aaron Kucyi, +5 more
- 13 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: Novel mechanistic data is provided on the understudied neural dynamics of everyday, moment‐to‐moment attentional fluctuations, elucidating the behavioral importance of spontaneous, transient coupling within and between attention‐relevant networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sustained Attention Across the Life Span in a Sample of 10,000 Dissociating Ability and Strategy

Francesca C. Fortenbaugh, +6 more
- 07 Aug 2015 - 
TL;DR: It is found that after the age of 15 years, the strategy and ability trajectories saliently diverge, and strategy becomes monotonically more conservative with age, whereas ability peaks in the early 40s and is followed by a gradual decline in older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of spatial and feature-based attention in frontoparietal cortex.

Adam S. Greenberg, +4 more
- 27 Oct 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that the posterior parietal cortex is a common hub for the control of attention shifts but contains subpopulations of neurons with domain-specific tuning for cognitive control.
