Attentional Selection Accompanied by Eye Vergence as Revealed by Event-Related Brain Potentials

Neural mechanisms of attention allow selective sensory information processing. Top-down deployment of visual-spatial attention is conveyed by cortical feedback connections from frontal regions to lower sensory areas modulating late stimulus responses. A recent study reported the occurrence of small...
