Abstract Attention enables the selective processing of relevant information. Two types of selective attention, spatial and feature attention, have separable neural effects but in real life are often used together. Here, we asked how these types of attention interact to affect information coding in a frontoparietal 'multiple-demand' (MD) network, essential for attentional control.
Abstract Domain-general cognitive systems are essential for adaptive human behaviour, supporting various cognitive tasks through flexible neural mechanisms. From decades of fMRI studies, we know that a particular network of frontoparietal brain regions plays a role in supporting many different kinds of cognitive activity, with increased activity and information coding in response to increasing task demands.
