abstract = {Changes in the size of the attentional focus and task
difficulty often co-vary. Nevertheless, the neural processes
underlying the attentional spotlight process and task
difficulty are likely to differ from each other. To
differentiate between the two, we parametrically varied the
size of the attentional focus in a novel behavioral paradigm
while keeping visual processing difficulty either constant
or not. A behavioral control experiment proved that the
present behavioral paradigm could indeed effectively
manipulate the size of the attentional focus per se, rather
than affecting purely perceptual processes or surface
processing. Imaging results showed that neural activity in a
dorsal frontoparietal network, including right superior
parietal cortex (SPL), was positively correlated with the
size of the attentional spotlight, irrespective of whether
task difficulty was constant or varied across different
sizes of attentional focus. In contrast, neural activity in
the ventral frontoparietal network, including the right
inferior parietal cortex (IPL), was positively correlated
with increasing task difficulty. Data suggest that
sub-regions in parietal cortex are differentially involved
in the attentional spotlight process and task difficulty:
while SPL was involved in the attentional spotlight process
independent of task difficulty, IPL was involved in the
effect of task difficulty independent of the attentional
spotlight process},
