Priming of color and position during visual search in unilateral spatial neglectArni Kristjansson
University College London, UK
J Cogn Neurosci 17:859-73. 2005..These findings demonstrate relatively intact priming of visual search by color and location in patients with right parietal damage, and also reveal that location priming may differ from color priming in requiring awareness...
Visibility reflects dynamic changes of effective connectivity between V1 and fusiform cortexJohn Dylan Haynes
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, United Kingdom
Neuron 46:811-21. 2005..This provides evidence that dynamic changes in effective connectivity can closely reflect visual perception...

Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, WC1N 3AR, London, UK
Neuropsychologia 40:291-301. 2002..These findings are related to multimodal coding of space in the parietal cortex, which was damaged in the neglect patients, but not in the RBD controls...

Modulation of pain processing in hyperalgesia by cognitive demandKatja Wiech
Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, Institute of Neurology, UCL, 12 Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK
Neuroimage 27:59-69. 2005..Within the limitations of an experimental model of pain, we suggest that the findings are relevant to understanding both the neurobiology and pathophysiology of chronic pain and its amelioration by cognitive strategies...
