  text: If one of two events is attended to, it will be perceived earlier than a simultaneously
    occurring unattended event. Since 150 years, this effect has been ascribed to
    the facilitating influence of attention, also known as prior entry. Yet, the attentional
    origin of prior-entry effects¹ has been repeatedly doubted. One criticism is that
    prior-entry effects might be due to biased decision processes that would mimic
    a temporal advantage for attended stimuli. Although most obvious biases have already
    been excluded experimentally (e.g. judgment criteria, response compatibility)
    and prior-entry effects have shown to persist (Shore, Spence, & Klein, 2001),
    many other biases are conceivable, which makes it difficult to put the debate
    to an end. Thus, we approach this problem the other way around by asking whether
    prior-entry effects can be biased voluntarily. Observers were informed about prior
    entry and instructed to reduce it as far as possible. For this aim they received
    continuous feedback
