Behavioral and Neural bases of Subcomponents of the Attentional Blink
Attention enables us to select relevant stimuli for enhanced sensory processing and decision-making. Yet, our ability to pay attention is severely capacity limited. This limitation is clearly revealed when we seek to perform ... -
Investigating the neural basis of spatial attentional components with probabilistic and reward cueing
We are constantly inundated with an abundance of sensory information. “Attention” enables the selection of relevant information and filtering out irrelevant information, to guide adaptive behavior. While attention can be ... -
Neural computations underlying attention and expectation
Our senses are inundated with an abundance of information at each instant. Attention and expectation are two cognitive processes that enable filtering this information to better navigate our environment. Importantly, ... -
Parietal and prefrontal control of distinct components of attention
In this thesis, we investigate behavioural mechanisms and neural substrates of distinct components of endogenous spatial attention. Endogenous attention facilitates neural processing of the selected stimulus through one ... -
Structural connectivity correlates of human cognition explored with diffusion MRI and tractography
Intact structural connectivity among brain regions is critical to cognition. Structural connectivity forms the substratum for information flow between brain regions, and its plasticity is a hallmark of learning in the ... -
Theta modulated dynamics in the hippocampus and its inputs during spatial navigation
The hippocampus is crucial for spatial navigation and has been hypothesized to integrate sensory information and mnemonic cues about items and experiences within a spatial context to create memories. Area CA1 is the ...
