Recordings of event‐related potentials (ERPs) were combined with structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the timing and localization of stimulus selection processes during visual‐spatial attention to pattern‐reversing gratings. Pattern reversals were presented in r...
