Behavioral representations within the endogenous dual attentional pathways during audiovisual integration processing by Zhongtian Guan, Mingli Yan, Miao He, Yubo Liu, Zhixi Zhang, Chunlin Li

“…However, the cognitive strategies and neural mechanisms involved in audiovisual integration under endogenous attentional modulation are unclear, and in particular, the functional relationship between the dorsal and ventral pathways still needs to be thoroughly investigated.MethodsWe design only auditory (A), only visual (V), and audiovisual attention (VA) tasks based on the classical Posner paradigm with spatial, temporal and neutral cues for behavioral indicators, brain activation, and their correlations.ResultsOur results showed significant differences in behavioral performance between tasks, with weaker performance on the dual-channel task than on the single-channel task. …”
