Memory guides attention by enabling preparation for upcoming states in the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex.

Learned expectations allow for a distinct anticipatory distractor representation at the feature but not at the spatial level.

The brain processes the same multisensory stimulus differently when the way it sounds, as opposed to the way it looks, is useful for making a decision.

Pharmacologically elevated catecholamine levels and spatial attention jointly shape perceptual decision-making, revealed by unique, similar, and interactive effects on behavior, drift diffusion modeling parameters, and electrophysiology.

Non-invasive disinhibition of the oculomotor system shows that ongoing preparatory activity in the superior colliculus has movement-generating potential and need not rise to threshold in order to produce a saccade.

Imaging experiments reveal that some brain regions do not distinguish between actions performed using tools and those performed using the hands, while others represent these two types of action separately.

Implementing neural changes associated with attention in a deep neural network causes performance changes that mimic those observed in humans and macaques.

A combined behavioural and electroencephalographic approach investigating the covert allocation of attention shows evidence for distributed periodic sampling away from a conscious visual image.
