Best things come in 3. Congrats to @NoraPlethora for her 3rd PhD pub, in @NeuroImage_EiC . We used N2pc as an est'd marker of attn control & tested how visual goals, multisens salience & context (object predictability & meaning) interact in controling capture by distractors 1/n We were interested in the role of lateralised brain mechs in those interactions (lat. brn mechs are 'captured' by canonical N2pc analyses) & we tested them w canonical N2pc & multivariate el.nimg anals. In fact lateralised N2pc-like mechs did NOT support those interactions 2/n

Huge congrats to ⁦@NoraPlethora on her 2nd PhD paper on multisensory attention development onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mb…! In the 1st paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl… we showd adult-like stable EEG topogrphc patterns reflecting visual & nascent, for AV selective attention- from 9y 1/n Here we showed that when stable EEG patterns are clustered using each age group as own ref, stable EEG patterns refl vis selective attn appear from 5y & for AV attention from 7y. So attention skills visible in beh can be supported by both 'maturing' & age-specific brn mechs 2/n
