Superior temporal sulcus--It's my area: or is it?Grit Hein
Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 20:2125-36. 2008
..This view is more in keeping with the notion that the same brain region can support different cognitive operations depending on task-dependent network connections, emphasizing the role of network connectivity analysis in neuroimaging...
The attentional blink modulates activity in the early visual cortexGrit Hein
Clinic for Neurology, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
J Cogn Neurosci 21:197-206. 2009
..This indicates that attentional competition modulates activity in higher-order parietal regions and the early visual cortex, providing a plausible neural basis of the behavioral AB effect...
Visuohaptic convergence in a corticocerebellar networkMarcus J Naumer
Institute of Medical Psychology, Goethe University, Heinrich Hoffmann Strasse 10, D 60528 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Eur J Neurosci 31:1730-6. 2010
..These data suggest that in humans the lateral occipital cortex and the anterior cerebellum play an important role in visuohaptic processing even in the absence of additional task demands...
Competing neural responses for auditory and visual decisionsGrit Hein
Cognitive Neurology Unit, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
PLoS ONE 2:e320. 2007
..Even without competing motor responses, a simple auditory decision interferes with visual processing on different neural levels, including prefrontal cortex, middle temporal cortex and visual regions...
Cortical plasticity of audio-visual object representationsMarcus J Naumer
Institute of Medical Psychology, Goethe University, Heinrich Hoffmann Strasse 10, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
Cereb Cortex 19:1641-53. 2009
..Together, these findings demonstrate that short-term cross-modal association learning was sufficient to induce plastic changes of both AV integration of object stimuli and mechanisms of AV congruency processing...
Temporal characteristics of audiovisual information processingGalit Fuhrmann Alpert
Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute and Psychology Department, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
J Neurosci 28:5344-9. 2008
..The results provide evidence for bottom-up processing from primary sensory areas into higher association areas during AV integration in humans and suggest that AV presentation shortens processing time in early sensory cortices...
