Control mechanisms mediating shifts of attention in auditory and visual space: a spatio-temporal ERP analysis.
The neural systems that mediate voluntary shifts of attention to visual and auditory stimuli were investigated by examining the patterns of human brain electricity elicited by attention-directing cues in auditory and visual tasks. Several lateralized event-related potential (ERP) components were observed when participants shifted attention in expectation of visual targets (experiment 1). One component was focused over frontal cortex and a second was focused primarily over the occipital-temporal cortex but also spread to parietal regions of the scalp. Previous work has indicated that the frontal component reflects supramodal processes involved in the executive control of attention and that the posterior component reflects either spatial attentional control processes in the posterior parietal lobe or modulation of processes in visual cortex. Here, the posterior component was observed when participants shifted attention in expectation of auditory targets (experiments 2-4), but the frontal component was found only in the visual task. The posterior component seemed to be generated in parietal and occipital areas even when there was no visual information about the to-be-attended locations. These results are consistent with the view that voluntary shifts of attention are mediated by supramodal processes in the parietal lobe and that the spatial coordinates of the to-be-attended location are based on visual representations of space.
