Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over frontal eye fields disrupts visually cued auditory attention

Summary: Voluntary eye movements and covert shifts of visual attention activate the same brain regions. Specifically, the intraparietal sulcus and the frontal eye fields (FEF) appear to be involved both with generating voluntary saccades as well with attending to a peripheral spatial location.
