1 International Students Workshop: Publication and Presentation of Scientific Research The following is a 12-minute talk given at an international conference. Its about the same data as the sample manuscript. Note the small number of slides!

2 Modulation of cortical feedforward dynamics by visual attention Thomas Schmidt & Anna Seydell Justus Liebig University Giessen Department of Psychology

3 Lamme et al.s (2000) Feedforward Sweep Theory: Neural activation needs about 10 ms to spread from one cortical map to the next, so that the first wave of activation (the feedforward sweep) cant be based on intracortical feedback mechanisms. The feedforward sweep can reach any area of cortex, including semantic and motor areas, in about 100 ms. Thorpe, Fize & Marlot (1996) demonstrate very rapid classification of images; they propose that this might be based on the very first spikes in the feedforward wavefront (VanRullen & Thorpe, 2002). Can the feedforward sweep be boosted by visual attention?

4 Rapid Chase Criteria apply to situations where two successive stimuli try to control the same single motor response 1. First stimulus initiates response 2. Second stimulus influences response before it is finished 3. Initial response to first stimulus is independent of second stimulus strictly sequential priming by sequential stimuli Schmidt, Niehaus & Nagel (submitted) show that primed pointing movements exactly follow these criteria (Response Priming; Vorberg et al., 2003; Neumann & Klotz, 1994)

5 Varying exogenous and endogenous attention (e.g., Egeth & Yantis, 1997; Allport, 1990)

8 Discussion Visual attention (endogenous and exogenous) enhances response priming effects in pointing movements Time-course of priming meets two of the rapid chase criteria: 1. Primes initiate pointing response 2. Masks capture response in midflight However, the initial time-course is not invariant unless the SOA is long and deployment of attention is complete. We conclude that visual attention boosts an early phase of visuomotor processing that is predominantly or entirely feedforward (Lamme & Roelfsema, 2000).
