Involuntary orienting to sound improves visual perception

JJ McDonald, WA Teder-SaÈlejaÈrvi, SA Hillyard - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
To perceive real-world objects and events, we need to integrate several stimulus features
belonging to different sensory modalities. Although the neural mechanisms and behavioural …

Electrophysiological evidence of the capture of visual attention

…, JJ McDonald, J Theeuwes - Journal of cognitive …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We investigated the ability of salient yet task-irrelevant stimuli to capture attention in two
visual search experiments. Participants were presented with circular search arrays that …

Electrophysiological indices of target and distractor processing in visual search

…, V Di Lollo, JJ McDonald - Journal of cognitive …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Attentional selection of a target presented among distractors can be indexed with an event-related
potential (ERP) component known as the N2pc. Theoretical interpretation of the N2pc …

Performance monitoring in the anterior cingulate is not all error related: expectancy deviation and the representation of action-outcome associations

FTP Oliveira, JJ McDonald, D Goodman - Journal of cognitive …, 2007 - direct.mit.edu
Several converging lines of evidence suggest that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is
selectively involved in error detection or evaluation of poor performance. Here we challenge this …

Suppression of salient objects prevents distraction in visual search

JM Gaspar, JJ McDonald - Journal of neuroscience, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
To find objects of interest in a cluttered and continually changing visual environment, humans
must often ignore salient stimuli that are not currently relevant to the task at hand. Recent …

[HTML][HTML] Rhythms of consciousness: binocular rivalry reveals large-scale oscillatory network dynamics mediating visual perception

SM Doesburg, JJ Green, JJ McDonald, LM Ward - PloS one, 2009 - journals.plos.org
Consciousness has been proposed to emerge from functionally integrated large-scale
ensembles of gamma-synchronous neural populations that form and dissolve at a frequency in …

Cross-modal cueing of attention alters appearance and early cortical processing of visual stimuli

VS Störmer, JJ McDonald… - Proceedings of the …, 2009 - National Acad Sciences
The question of whether attention makes sensory impressions appear more intense has
been a matter of debate for over a century. Recent psychophysical studies have reported that …

Effects of spatial congruity on audio-visual multimodal integration

…, F Di Russo, JJ McDonald… - Journal of cognitive …, 2005 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Spatial constraints on multisensory integration of auditory (A) and visual (V) stimuli were
investigated in humans using behavioral and electrophysiological measures. The aim was to …

Semantic and affective processing in psychopaths: An event-related potential (ERP) study

KA Kiehl, RD Hare, JJ McDonald, J Brink - Psychophysiology, 1999 - cambridge.org
We tested the hypothesis that psychopathy is associated with abnormal processing of semantic
and affective verbal information. In Task 1, a lexical decision task, and in Task 2, a word …

Inability to suppress salient distractors predicts low visual working memory capacity

…, DJ Prime, P Jolicœur, JJ McDonald - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
According to contemporary accounts of visual working memory (vWM), the ability to efficiently
filter relevant from irrelevant information contributes to an individual’s overall vWM capacity…
