TLDR
The scholarly contributions of Hillyard, Näätänen, and their colleagues during the last 20 years, along with those by others related to the neurophysiology and neuroanatomy of the visual system, have led them to propose the somewhat different perspective represented by the neural specificity model of selective attention.

The role of attention in auditory information processing as revealed by event-related potentials and other brain measures of cognitive function

TL;DR: The role of attention and automaticity in auditory processing as revealed by event-related potential (ERP) research is examined, suggesting that even unattended stimuli may be semantically processed, without assuming automatic semantic processing or late selection in selective attention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective attention to the color and direction of moving stimuli: electrophysiological correlates of hierarchical feature selection.

TL;DR: Event-related brain potentials were recorded from subjects who attended to pairs of adjacent colored squares that were flashed sequentially to produce a perception of movement to support early-selection theories of attention that stipulate attentional control over the initial processing of stimulus features.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural processes involved in directing attention

TL;DR: Boys appeared more aroused and reflected faster and greater selective processing than girls than girls and the effects of spatial attention on P1, N1, and P3 ERP components following the targets replicated previous results.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spatial allocation of visual attention as indexed by event-related brain potentials

TL;DR: The spatial distribution of visual attention was studied using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to index stimulus processing as the locus of attention was shifted across the visual fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications of ERP data for psychological theories of attention

TL;DR: ERP data suggest that extended consistent-mapping training does not lead to a "genuine" automatization of a search process in the sense of independence of a limited-capacity system, and give support to certain forms of resource-allocation theories of attention.

Behavioral enhancement of visual responses in monkey cerebral cortex. I. Modulation in posterior parietal cortex related to selective visual attention

TL;DR: It is suggested that the role of area 7 in visual attention may be mediated by the enhancement of visual responses to selected stimuli, which resembles the psychological phenomenon of selective spatial attention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemispheric differences in the neural processing of stimulus location and type: Effects of selective attention on visual evoked potentials

TL;DR: Hemispheric differences in a negative brain potential associated with selectively attending the location and type of stimulation were investigated and were interpreted in relationship to the time-course of different types of information processing in the left and right hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attention to pattern orientation: Negative cortical potentials, reaction time, and the selection process ☆

TL;DR: The hypothesis that occipital potentials following relevant and irrelevant stimuli reflect not only differential processing ofrelevant and irrelevant information but also reflect a progressive change in the unit or specificity of the differential processing is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visual event-related potentials to colored patterns and color names: attention to features and dimension.

TL;DR: The result suggests that either: word information is processed simultaneously and independently in the different regions, or anterior regions feedback onto posterior regions and, therefore, influence the processing in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective attention effects on retinal and forebrain responses in humans: A replication and extension

TL;DR: Eason, Oakley, and Flowers as mentioned in this paper reported that the amplitude of the b-wave and afterpotential of the electroretinogram is affected by the attentional state of the subject.
