Journal ArticleDOI
The N1 wave of the human electric and magnetic response to sound: a review and an analysis of the component structure
Risto Näätänen,Terence W. Picton +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that at least six different cerebral processes can contribute to the Nl wave of the human auditory evoked potential, and that they often last much longer than the true N1 components that they overlap.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Theory of attentional operations in shape identification.
David LaBerge,Vincent Brown +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of selective attention that is intended to account for the identification of a visual shape in a cluttered display, where the selected area of attention is controlled by a filter that operates on the location information in a display.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual event-related potentials index focused attention within bilateral stimulus arrays. II. Functional dissociation of P1 and N1 components
TL;DR: It was concluded that modulations of the N1 and P1 components in these experiments represent different aspects of visual spatial attention: N1 may represent the orienting of attention to a task-relevant stimulus, whereas P1 may represents a facilitation of early sensory processing for items presented to a location where attention is already focused.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expectancy and visual-spatial attention: effects on perceptual quality
TL;DR: Sensitivity was maximally enhanced at the location where a target stimulus was expected and generally decreased with distance from that location and factors that influenced the gradient of sensitivity were (a) the type of task performed and (b) the spatial distribution of the stimuli.

Selective attention gates visual processing in the extrastriate cortex.
Jeffrey Moran,Robert Desimone +1 more
TL;DR: The filtering of irrelevant information from the receptive fields of extrastriate neurons may underlie the ability to identify and remember the properties of a particular object out of the many that may be represented on the retina.

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.
