Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The aim of this research programme is to elucidate the neural basis of selective attention in the human brain. The project will exploit a unique combination of experimental techniques to establish the nature of attentional interactions between higher brain structures and lower sensory regions. Regime A will use simultaneous brain-stimulation and brain-imaging to establish the nature of functional connections between parietal cortex, frontal cortex and sensory cortex in the control of visual attention. Regime B will employ transcranial magnetic stimulation to determine the time-course of attentional signals between frontal, parietal and sensory regions. Together these studies will provide significant new insights into the mechanisms of attention in the healthy human brain, with implications for attentional impairments caused by brain injury and disease.
