Visual Selective Attention:
The ability to monitor an object or location selectively in a crowded visual scene
CueBiased Competition Theory (Desimone & Duncan, 1995):
Multiple visual stimuli activate competing populations of neurons in visual cortex ("bottom up") Attention biases this competition in favor of the attended stimulus ("top down")

Attention and Extrastriate Cortex:
Attentional modulation of neural responses is observed in extrastriate cortical regions such as V4 (e.g. Moran & Desimone, 1985; Fries, Reynolds, Rorie, & Desimone, 2001)
Extrastriate lesions produce attentional deficits when salient distractors are present (e.g. De Weerd, Peralta, Desimone, & Ungerleider, 1999)

Attentional Modulation of Neural Synchrony in Area V4
![Page 8: Synchronous activity within and between areas V4 and FEF in attention Steve Gotts Laboratory of Brain and Cognition NIMH, NIH with: Georgia Gregoriou,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5697bfe01a28abf838cb36bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is the source of the "top down" attentional bias inextrastriate neurons ?
One possibility (among several) is prefrontal cortex (PFC), whichis thought to play a central role in cognitive control, executive function,and working memory:
• Feedback to temporal and parietal regions, which in turn feedback to extrastriate• Imaging studies of selective attention in humans commonly show PFC activation• Lesions of PFC in humans result in a variety of attentional deficits
• Rossi et al.: lesions to PFC in monkeys produces an impairment in switching top-down control

Task:
Monitor stimulus that matches cue for a color change, ignoring changes in distractors
Stimuli: Oriented, drifting, sinusoidal gratings (R,G,B) at 50 eccentricity
Cue: Random cue onset, ranging from 1 sec before stimulus onset to 1 sec after Cue color chosen randomly for each trial
Targets: change between 250 ms and 3 sec post-cue (or post-stim)
Distractors: 0, 1, or 2 might change
