Problem
A. Using animal single-cell recording, human ERP, or fMRI evidence to explain top-down spatial attention facilitation effect in early perceptual processing.
B. Explain the biased competition model on attention selection. Describe an fMRI study that may provide some support for this model.
C. Using empirical evidence to explain how attention facilitation effects can "spread" to (i) a different part of an attended object, or (ii) task-irrelevant features of an attended object.
D. Explain the dorsal and ventral attention system (e.g., brain regions, function, etc.).
E. Where is the frontal eye field? Using empirical evidence to explain why we think this region plays an important role in attention control.
