Journal Article
Hills, P., Arabici, G., Canter, L., Thompson, C., & Moseley, R. (2021). Low-frequency rTMS to the parietal lobe increases eye-movement carryover and decreases hazard rating. Neuropsychologia, 158, 107895. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2021.107895

The persistence of attentional set from one task to a secondary unrelated task, revealed through carryover of eye movements, has been attributed to increased activation in the parietal lobe and decreased activation to the frontal lobe.
