Parameters That Affect Early Attention Modulation: Debate The experimental parameters that affect attentional modulation of the ERP C1 component Scott D. Slotnick ‘Tricks’ for revealing potential attentional modulations on the C1 component Shimin Fu Identifying and removing overlaps from adjacent components is important in investigations of C1 modulation by attention Zhe Qu & Yulong Ding Endogenous attention to object features modulates the ERP C1 component Alberto Zani & Alice Mado Proverbio Still wanted: a reproducible demonstration of a genuine C1 attention effect Michael A.
