Spatio-temporal dynamics of top-down control: directing attention to location and/or color as revealed by ERPs and source modelingHeleen A Slagter
Department of Psychonomics, University of Amsterdam, Roeterstraat 15, 1018 W B Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Brain Res Cogn Brain Res 22:333-48. 2005..This central effect may reflect feature integration or ongoing processes related to cue-symbol translation. These results extend our understanding of the spatio-temporal dynamics of top-down attentional control...
Probability effects in the stop-signal paradigm: the insula and the significance of failed inhibitionJennifer R Ramautar
Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Department of Psychology, University of Amsterdam, Roetersstraat 15, 1018 WB Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Brain Res 1105:143-54. 2006..When response inhibition failed, greater activity was observed in bilateral insula when stop signals were presented less compared to more frequently. The insula may thus play a role in processing the significance of inhibitory failure...
Mental training affects distribution of limited brain resourcesHeleen A Slagter
Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior and Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, United States of America
PLoS Biol 5:e138. 2007..Our study supports the idea that plasticity in brain and mental function exists throughout life and illustrates the usefulness of systematic mental training in the study of the human mind...

Waisman Laboratory for Brain Imaging and Behavior, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA
Neuropsychologia 48:1265-8. 2010..This finding may support the idea that the observed attentional bias in healthy individuals reflects asymmetries in dopaminergic circuits, and corroborates previous findings implicating dopamine in spatial attention...
