Attention selectively enhances the influence of neuronal responses conveying information
about relevant sensory attributes. Accumulating evidence suggests that this selective …

Brain processing depends on the interactions between neuronal groups. Those interactions
are governed by the pattern of anatomical connections and by yet unknown mechanisms …

Voluntary attention is the top-down selection process that focuses cortical processing resources
on the most relevant sensory information. Spatial attention—that is, selection based on …

To adjust expectations efficiently, prediction errors need to be associated with the precise
features that gave rise to the unexpected outcome, but this credit assignment may be …

The brain must dynamically integrate, coordinate, and respond to internal and external stimuli
across multiple time scales. Non-invasive measurements of brain activity with fMRI have …

Our capacity to process and respond behaviourally to multiple incoming stimuli is very
limited. To optimize the use of this limited capacity, attentional mechanisms give priority to …

Characterization of large‐scale brain networks using blood‐oxygenation‐level‐dependent
functional magnetic resonance imaging is typically based on the assumption of network …

A central motif in neuronal networks is convergence, linking several input neurons to one
target neuron. In visual cortex, convergence renders target neurons responsive to complex …

Selective attention lends relevant sensory input priority access to higher-level brain areas
and ultimately to behavior. Recent studies have suggested that those neurons in visual areas …

Oscillatory activity is a widespread phenomenon in nervous systems and has been implicated
in numerous functions. Signals that are generated by two separate neuronal sources often …
