1 Introduction Posner's attention network model delineates three core systems underlying attentional control: alerting, orienting, and executive control (Posner and Petersen 1990).

1 Introduction A fundamental debate in cognitive neuroscience relates to the question whether cognitive functions are localizable within discrete cortical areas or distributed across brain networks. While some researchers have historically supported a localizationist perspective, arguing that specific cognitive functions are confined to distinct brain regions (Coltheart et al. 2001; Fodor 1983; Shallice and Cooper 2012), evidence from functional neuroimaging increasingly challenges this view.
