The thoughful comments on our study (Baumgartner et al., this issue) that failed to replicate the C1 attention effect reported by a previous study roughly fall into three broad categories. First, the commentators identified specific differences between the two studies that may have contributed to the discrepant results. Second, they highlighted some of the theoretical and methodological problems that are encountered when trying to demonstrate attention effects on the initial evoked response in primary visual cortex. Third, they offered a number of proposals for optimizing experimental designs and analysis methods that may increase the likelihood of observing attention-related modulations of the C1. We consider each of these topics in turn.
对我们这项未能重复先前研究报告的C1注意力效应的研究（鲍姆加特纳等人，本期）所发表的深思熟虑的评论大致可分为三大类。第一，评论者指出了两项研究之间可能导致结果不一致的具体差异。第二，他们强调了在试图证明对初级视觉皮层初始诱发反应的注意力效应时所遇到的一些理论和方法问题。第三，他们提出了一些优化实验设计和分析方法的建议，这些建议可能会增加观察到与注意力相关的C1调制的可能性。我们依次考虑这些主题。
