The phrase "attention activation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to psychology, neuroscience, or marketing, where the focus is on how attention is triggered or engaged.
Example: "The study aimed to explore the mechanisms of attention activation in response to visual stimuli."
Alternatives: "attention engagement" or "attention stimulation".
While the motor-task-related areas were activated with slower frequency than attention, the activation in the attention-related areas was enhanced every time the subject had to start or end the motor task.
Third, we pay more attention to activation functions.
Thus, under conditions of limited attention resources activation in rACC correlated with enhanced processing of emotional stimuli.
We will show that besides the PPC also other areas of the dorsal stream including the motion specific visual area V5, the frontal eye field (FEF), and the supplementary eye field (SEF) dissociate intention from attention related activation.
Increasing tone intensity resulted in increased activations throughout medial auditory cortex whereas attention enhanced activations primarily in lateral regions of auditory cortex along the STG and in mesial regions anterior to HG.
Since these very early components (particularly N20m) are evoked through direct projections from thalamus to S1 and M1 areas, their lack of attention-related activation is consistent with the theory that the attention modulation is from the prefrontal lobe (Gazzaley and D'Esposito 2008), not directly from the thalamus.
Attention enhanced activations predominantly in non-tonotopic lateral regions of auditory cortex, whereas increasing sound intensities enhanced activations in medial tonotopic regions.
The results suggest a rostrocaudal specialization within PMd of the human brain, with attention-related activation rostrally and medially and intention-related activation caudally.
Previous studies have described the topography of attention-related activation in retinotopic visual cortex for an attended target at one or a few locations within the subject's field of view.
