Anatomy of the visual word form area: adjacent cortical circuits and long-range white matter connections.

abstract：:In three experiments, cost-benefit analysis was used to determine the role of attention in the processing of auditory information. In two experiments consonant-vowel syllables were presented monaurally, while in the third the mode of presentation was dichotic. For all three experiments the ability to detect a target s...
