Complementary localization and lateralization of orienting and motor attention (2001)
Journal Article
Rushworth, M., Ellison, A., & Walsh, V. (2001). Complementary localization and lateralization of orienting and motor attention. Nature Neuroscience, 4(6), 656-661. https://doi.org/10.1038/88492

It is widely agreed that the right posterior parietal cortex has a preeminent role in visuospatial and orienting attention. A number of lines of evidence suggest that although orienting and the preparation of oculomotor responses are dissociable from...

The role of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in studies of vision, attention and cognition (2001)
Journal Article
Stewart, L., Ellison, A., Walsh, V., & Cowey, A. (2001). The role of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in studies of vision, attention and cognition. Acta Psychologica, 107(1-3), 275-291. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0001-6918%2801%2900035-x

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be conceptualized as a virtual lesion technique, capable of disrupting organized cortical activity, transiently and reversibly. The technique combines good spatial and temporal resolution and, moreover, bec... Read More about The role of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in studies of vision, attention and cognition.

Visual Field asymmetries in attention and learning (2001)
Journal Article
Ellison, A., & Walsh, V. (2001). Visual Field asymmetries in attention and learning. Spatial vision, 14(1), 3-9. https://doi.org/10.1163/156856801741323

It has been suggested that attentional resolution is greater in the lower than in the upper visual lfield. As there is no corresponding asymmetry between the areas in the primary visual cortex where the input from upper and lower visual fields is pro...
