How brains beware: neural mechanisms of emotional attention

P Vuilleumier - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2005 - cell.com
Emotional processes not only serve to record the value of sensory events, but also to elicit
adaptive responses and modify perception. Recent research using functional brain imaging in …

Distributed and interactive brain mechanisms during emotion face perception: evidence from functional neuroimaging

… Author links open overlay panel Patrik Vuilleumier a b c d , … Unpublished fMRI data from
Vuilleumier and Pourtois. … on the neglected side in parietal patients (Vuilleumier et al., 2002) or …

Brain mechanisms for emotional influences on perception and attention: What is magic and what is not

G Pourtois, A Schettino, P Vuilleumier - Biological psychology, 2013 - Elsevier
The rapid and efficient selection of emotionally salient or goal-relevant stimuli in the environment
is crucial for flexible and adaptive behaviors. Converging data from neuroscience and …

Distant influences of amygdala lesion on visual cortical activation during emotional face processing

P Vuilleumier, MP Richardson, JL Armony… - Nature …, 2004 - nature.com
Emotional visual stimuli evoke enhanced responses in the visual cortex. To test whether this
reflects modulatory influences from the amygdala on sensory processing, we used event-…

Distinct spatial frequency sensitivities for processing faces and emotional expressions

P Vuilleumier, JL Armony, J Driver, RJ Dolan - Nature neuroscience, 2003 - nature.com
High and low spatial frequency information in visual images is processed by distinct neural
channels. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in humans, we …

Electrophysiological correlates of rapid spatial orienting towards fearful faces

…, D Grandjean, D Sander, P Vuilleumier - Cerebral …, 2004 - academic.oup.com
We investigated the spatio-temporal dynamic of attentional bias towards fearful faces.
Twelve participants performed a covert spatial orienting task while recording visual event-related …

Perceptual awareness and its loss in unilateral neglect and extinction

J Driver, P Vuilleumier - Cognition, 2001 - Elsevier
We review recent evidence from studies of patients with unilateral neglect and/or extinction,
who suffer from a loss of awareness for stimuli towards the affected side of space. We …

The processing of emotional facial expression is gated by spatial attention: evidence from event-related brain potentials

A Holmes, P Vuilleumier, M Eimer - Cognitive Brain Research, 2003 - Elsevier
… In the 180–300-ms and the subsequent 300–500-ms intervals, main effects of attention at
lateral frontal, central, and midline sites (all F(1,17)>4.7; all P<0.05) were due to enlarged …
