Task schematic for visual versus auditory sustained spatial attention task (Experiment 1) showing examples of (a) attend auditory and (b) attend visual conditions. Each block began with an instruction for the subject to attend to one of four serial presentation streams (listen/watch, left/right). Subjects monitored the cued stream and reported the identity of digits (1–4) while ignoring distracting letters (in attended stream) and digits (in all other streams). Visual streams included 6 additional distractor streams to balance task difficulty between auditory and visual streams.
