Response to Comment on "Top-Down Versus Bottom-Up Control of Attention in the Prefrontal and Posterior Parietal Cortices"

Earl K. Miller* and Timothy J. Buschman

We reported latencies for target selection based on the earliest neurons to show effects, which Schall et al. mistakenly compare to latencies based on population averages. We show that there are actually no discrepancies across studies and also discuss the relative merits of single-electrode versus multiple-electrode approaches.
