Document Summary
Task was to press button when target appeared. Enhancement effect for non-target within the target rectangle. Moore et al (1998) showed that the spreading enhancement occurs for occluded bars too - may help us perceive occluded objects. Using fmri o"craven (1999) assessed how attention affects brain activity. If they were attending to the face, it would cause st to the face area remember the house/ place stimulus is there at the same time if the observer changed his attention, ti changed to the ppa. Attending to the moving or stationary house caused enhanced activity in the ppa. Attention maps show directing attention to a specific area of space activates a specific area of the brain. Womelsdorf (2006) showed that attention can cause a monkey"s receptive field to shift toward the place where the attention is directed. It is necessary because the many areas are involved in processing all the aspects of an object/scene.
