abstract = {Sustained responsiveness to external stimulation is
fundamental to many time-critical interactions with the
outside world. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging
during speeded stimulus detection to identify convergent and
divergent neural correlates of maintaining the readiness to
respond to auditory, tactile, and visual stimuli. In
addition, using a multimodal condition, we investigated the
effect of making stimulus modality unpredictable. Relative
to sensorimotor control tasks, all three unimodal detection
tasks elicited stronger activity in the right
temporo-parietal junction, inferior frontal cortex, anterior
insula, dorsal premotor cortex, and anterior cingulate
cortex as well as bilateral mid-cingulum, midbrain,
brainstem, and medial cerebellum. The multimodal detection
condition additionally activated left dorsal premotor cortex
and bilateral precuneus. Modality-specific modulations were
confined to respective sensory areas: we found activity
increases in relevant, and decreases in irrelevant sensory
cortices. Our findings corroborate the modality independence
of a predominantly right-lateralized core network for
maintaining an alert (i.e., highly responsive) state and
extend previous results to the somatosensory modality.
Monitoring multiple sensory channels appears to induce
additional processing, possibly related to stimulus-driven
shifts of intermodal attention. The results further suggest
that directing attention to a given sensory modality
selectively enhances and suppresses sensory processing-even
in simple detection tasks, which do not require inter- or
intra-modal selection.},
