Spatial attention and crossmodal interactions between vision and touchE Macaluso
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, London WCIN 3AR, UK
Neuropsychologia 39:1304-16. 2001..A multimodal attentional system may influence activity in distinct brain areas representing common regions of space for different modalities, thus suggesting a link between spatial attention and crossmodal integration...
Multimodal mechanisms of attention related to rates of spatial shifting in vision and touchE Macaluso
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK
Exp Brain Res 137:445-54. 2001..They also suggest that anterior and posterior regions of the spatial-attention network play different roles in attention shifting...
Neural basis of generation of conclusions in elementary deductionCarlo Reverberi
Department of Psychology, Universita Milano Bicocca, Milano, Italy
Neuroimage 38:752-62. 2007..Taken together with results from preceding studies, our findings suggest possible theoretically relevant dissociations between elementary propositional deductions and other types of deductive reasoning...
Processing of multisensory spatial congruency can be dissociated from working memory and visuo-spatial attentionUlrike Zimmer
IRCCS Fondazione Santa Lucia, Roma, Italy
Eur J Neurosci 26:1681-91. 2007..Critically, these cross-modal effects occurred irrespective of the level of load. We conclude that processing of visuo-tactile spatial congruency in the visual cortex does not depend on available visuo-spatial and memory resources...
Dissociation of stimulus relevance and saliency factors during shifts of visuospatial attentionIole Indovina
Neuroimaging Laboratory, Fondazione Santa Lucia, Rome, Italy
Cereb Cortex 17:1701-11. 2007..These findings indicate that task relevance is critical for stimulus-driven engagement of the attentional network when attentional resources are endogenously allocated somewhere else...
