• Top-down and bottom-up control of visual selection. (2010, methodology): “The final line of evidence comes from the ERP study of Hickey et al. (2006) discussed earlier.”
• Involuntary attentional capture is determined by task set: Evidence from event-related brain potentials (2008, positive): “…attentional capture is mediated by top-down task sets, results from a recent ERP study that also employed the N2pc as an indicator of selective attentional processing (Hickey et al., 2006) have led to the conclusion that attentional capture is at least partially determined by bottom-up saliency.”
• Electrophysiological Indices of Target and Distractor Processing in Visual Search (2009, background): “This display allowed for the identification of lateralized ERP components tied to processing of the line, as stimuli presented on the vertical meridian do not elicit lateralized ERP activity (Woodman & Luck, 2003; see also Hickey et al., 2006).”
