Neural Networks involved in Automatic and Controlled Processes in Visual Selective Attention: an fMRI study

Conclusions Altogether these results strongly suggest that a more distributed network is involved in controlled processes than in automatic processes in the visual selective attention function. [...]in agreement with behavioural data, areas classically involved in attentional processes, i.e. MFG and SPG, were more recruited only when attentionnal demands increased in controlled processes.
