Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, neutral): “…speed and accuracy of performance by increasing overall neural responses to attended stimuli (Feldman and Friston, 2010; Friston, 2010; Herrmann et al., 2010; Hillyard et al., 1998; Kok et al., 2012b; Martinez-Trujillo and Treue, 2004; Reynolds and Heeger, 2009; Treue and Martínez-Trujillo, 1999).”
An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique (2005, background): “Many studies have shown that these components are influenced by spatial attention (see reviews by Hillyard et al., 1998; Mangun, 1995).”
Mechanisms of visual attention in the human cortex. (2000, background): “Response enhancement in extrastriate cortex due to spatially directed attention may occur as early as 80–130 ms after stimulus onset (Heinze et al 1994, Mangun 1995, Hillyard et al 1998, Mangun et al 1998).”
Interpretive bias in social phobia: An ERP study with morphed emotional schematic faces (2009, background): “However, the role of the P1 in face processing is currently not well understood: Since the P1 is smaller for negative (contrast reversed) than inverted or upright faces (Itier & Taylor, 2002 ), and larger for unattractive and atypical faces compared with attractive and typical faces (Halit et al, 2”
Neural activity predicts individual differences in visual working memory capacity (2004, background): “involved in performing the task, or even more general processes such as increased effort or arousa”
The cortical dynamics of speaking: present shortcomings and future avenues (2016, background): “…target-irrelevant pathways, just as advocated in other domains of cognition (e.g. Bar, 2003; Corbetta & Shulman, 2002; Desimone & Duncan, 1995; Engel et al., 2001; Gilbert & Li, 2013; Heald & Nusbaum, 2014; Hillyard et al., 1998; Kastner et al., 1999; Kiefer, 2007, 2012; Naccache et al., 2002).”
ERP Components: The Ups and Downs of Brainwave Recordings (2011, background): “For example, ERPs were able to end a long-standing debate in the attention literature about whether attention operates at an early stage or a late stage of processing (for reviews, see Hillyard et al., 1998 ; Luck et al., 2000 ).”
Limited attention: the constraint underlying search image (2001, background): “…protocols have all identified neuronal correlates of limited attention, and research is now focused on the mechanisms underlying the selective allocation of attention to the most relevant information (Behrmann and Haimson, 1999; Desimone, 1998; Desimone and Duncan, 1995; Hillyard et al., 1998).”
The Curious Incident of Attention in Multisensory Integration: Bottom-up vs. Top-down (2016, unknown): “For the visual modality, spatial selective attention has been found to enhance the relatively early latency P1 and N1 ERP components (Hillyard et al., 1998), suggesting that attention serves as a gain controller of early sensory processes.”
Top-down Enhancement and Suppression of the Magnitude and Speed of Neural Activity (2005, background): “It has been proposed that amplification of activity magnitude improves the signal-to-noise ratio, allowing more information to be extracted from relevant stimuli ( Hillyard, Vogel, & Luck, 1998 ).”
