Attention
Controlling how information flows through the brain

The Theory Is…
• Be able to complete this sentence by Nov 20
– This means you’ve completed some background reading including some primary literature
– You’ve put lots of thought into crafting a testable, focused theory and predictions that follow from that theory
![Page 5: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection
– consider a simple visual scene:
![Page 6: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection
– consider a simple visual scene:
![Page 7: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection– consider a simple visual scene:
– What happens in the brain when this scene appears?
![Page 8: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection– consider a slightly more complex scene
– What happens in the brain when this scene appears?
![Page 9: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection– consider a slightly more complex scene and a simple task:
– What has to happen in order for this task to be accomplished?
“point to the vertical line”
![Page 10: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection
That might not seem complex because the visual target and the output “device” are represented by the same hemisphere
![Page 11: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection– What if the scene gets more complex?
– What has to happen in order for this task to be accomplished?
![Page 12: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection– What if the scene gets more complex?
– What has to happen in order for this task to be accomplished?
![Page 13: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection– What if the scene and task gets more complex: “Point to the red vertical
line”?
– What has to happen in order for this task to be accomplished?
![Page 14: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection
• problem: When those stimuli appear, activity begins simultaneously among many different neurons in the cortex. How does the rest of the brain (memory, motor planning, consciousness) know which is the target?
![Page 15: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection• It get’s trickier:
– Recall that the visual system has two pathways: what(ventral) and where (dorsal)
– the dorsal pathway doesn’t “know” anything about orientation (or color or complex forms or identities)
– The ventral pathway doesn’t “know” anything about location
– What if the scene is really complicated!?
![Page 16: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Point to Waldo
![Page 17: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection
• One conceptualization of attention is that it is the process by which irrelevant neural representations are disregarded (deemphasized? suppressed?)
• Another subtly different conceptualization is that attention is a process by which the neural representations of relevant stimuli are enhanced (emphasized? biased?)
![Page 18: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Attention as Information Selection
• These ideas apply to other modalities– auditory “Cocktail Party”
problem
– somatosensory “I don’t feel my socks” problem
![Page 19: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Early Selection
• Early Selection model postulated that attention acted as a strict gate at the lowest levels of sensory processing
• Based on concept of a limited capacity bottleneck
![Page 20: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Late Selection
• Late Selection models postulated that attention acted on later processing stages (not sensory)
![Page 21: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Early Selection• Early Selection model was
intuitive and explained most data but failed to explain some findings
• Shadowing studies found that certain information could “intrude” into the attended stream– Subject’s name, loud
noises, etc.
![Page 22: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Late vs. Early
• Various hybrid models have been proposed– Early attenuation of non-attended input– Late enhancement of attended input
![Page 23: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Electrophysiological Investigations of Attention
![Page 24: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Modulation of Auditory Pathways• Hillyard et al. (1960s)
showed attention effects in human auditory pathway using ERP
• Selective listening task using headphones
– Every few minutes the attended side was reversed
– Thus they could measure the brain response to identical stimuli when attended or unattended

Modulation of Auditory Pathways
• Result: ERP elicited by attended and unattended stimuli diverges by about 90ms post stimulus– Long before response is made– Probably in primary or nearby auditory cortex
![Page 26: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Modulation of Auditory Pathways• Other groups have found ERP modulation even earlier –
as early as Brainstem Auditory Response
• Probably no robust modulation as low as cochlea
• by ~40 ms, feed forward sweep is already well into auditory and associated cortex– Thus ERP effects may reflect recurrent rather than feed forward
processes
![Page 27: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Modulation of Auditory Pathways
• Response times are faster for attended relative to unattended targets
• The theory is that transient and sustained attention act on auditory pathways the same way

Modulation of Auditory Pathways
• Transient Attention: The Target-Target Paradigm
– We can compare targets preceded by targets at the same location with targets preceded by targets on the other side
![Page 38: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Modulation of Auditory Pathways
• Transient Attention: The Target-Target Paradigm
– Does transient attention modulate auditory system like sustained attention?

Modulation of Auditory Pathways
• ERP is markedly different in the two situations!
• One possibility:– sustained attention allows for attentional
configuration of sensory cortex to modulate feed-forward sweep but…
– Transient attention can only modulate recurrent processes
![Page 41: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Modulation of Auditory Pathways
• Earliest attention-related component (called the Nd1) is over contralateral posterior scalp - not primary cortex
Tata & Ward (2005)
![Page 42: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Moran and Desimone (1985)
• “Classical” RF prediction: there should be no difference in responses in these two conditions
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
![Page 43: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Moran and Desimone (1985)• Result:
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
“effective” stimulus at attended location – attention spotlight has selected object with features to which this neuron is tuned
Response to Target
“effective” stimulus at unattended location – attention spotlight has selected object with features to which this neuron is not tuned
Response to “Sample”
Response to Target
Response to “Sample”

• Moran and Desimone (1985)• Result: – Neuron responds vigorously only if its effective
stimulus is attended
– Interesting caveat: this only applies when there is an ineffective stimulus (to which the monkey attends) present in the V4 RF• When the ineffective stimulus is outside of the cell’s RF,
its responses are largely unmodulated

• Chellazi et al ( 1993) Neural Correlates of Visual Search
– Monkey is trained in a delayed match-to-sample task• Cue appears 1.5 seconds before search array• Monkey saccades to target
– “good” and “poor” stimuli are identified for each recorded neuron
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
![Page 46: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
• Note that monkey isn’t “pre-cued” to attend to a location– Only target features are known prior
to choice array onset
• With this paradigm it is possible to measure cell activity during delay, during search, and after selection
• Note that search array always contains a “good” stimulus for the recorded cell – but that might not be the target
![Page 47: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
• Initial response of cells is “classical”
![Page 48: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
• Initial response of cells is “classical”
• Response during delay maintains a representation of the target feature
![Page 49: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
• Initial response of cells is “classical”
• Response during delay represents the target feature
• Initial response to search array is “classical”
![Page 50: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
• About 200 ms after array onset, response of cell begins to depend on attention
– Response becomes more vigorous if cell is tuned to features of the target (i.e. the selected stimulus)
– Response becomes suppressed if cell is tuned to a non-target distractor
![Page 51: Test Oct. 21 Review Session Oct 19 2pm in TH201 (that’s here)](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d2c5503460f94a02ff2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Intracranial Recordings of Attentional Selection
• Conclusion: – Attentional selection of locations and/or objects
has physiological correlates and consequences
• How does attention get to where it needs to go?
