Despite a constant deluge of sensory stimulation, only a fraction of it is used to guide
behavior. This selective processing is generally referred to as attention, and much research …

How do endogenous (voluntary) and exogenous (involuntary) attention modulate activity in
visual cortex? Using ROI-based fMRI analysis, we measured fMRI activity for valid and …

To explore the neural substrates of executive function (EF), we conducted an activation
likelihood estimation meta‐analysis of 408 functional magnetic resonance imaging studies …

The present study investigated how the brain processes words with multiple meanings.
Specifically, we examined the inter-and intra-hemispheric connectivity of unambiguous …

We can all agree that a good story engages us, however, agreeing which story is good is far
more debatable. In this study, we explored whether engagement with a narrative …

The human thalamus has been suggested to be involved in executive function, based on
animal studies and correlational evidence from functional neuroimaging in humans. Human …

Attention, as it is now defined as a process matching data from the environment to the needs
of the organism, is one of the main aspects of human cognitive processes. There are several …

In visual working memory (VWM) tasks, participants' performances can be improved through
the use of dimension-based retro-cues, which direct internal attention to prioritize a …

Spatial attention can be oriented endogenously, based on current task goals, or
exogenously, triggered by salient events in the environment. Based upon literature …

Flexible adaptation to changing environments is a representative executive control function
implicated in the frontoparietal network that requires appropriate extraction of goal-relevant …
