    Sagittal PET section, 25 mm left of midline, of group-averaged subtraction image between shifting-attention and central-detection tasks. 


  2. Figure 2

    3D rendering and 2D flattened surface of the Visible Man Brain, with the left hemisphere on the left. Lobes are indicated in 2D surface. Sulci are indicated as follows: sfs, superior frontal sulcus (s.); precs, precentral s.; cs, central s.; pocs, postcentral s.; ips, intraparietal s. Foci of activation during shifting attention [red (16), yellow (17), and orange (53)] and tonic attention [pink (24), violet (25), and light orange (Woldorff et al., unpublished data)].
