Description
We are typically confronted with much more information than our cognitive and neural systems can handle. One mechanism to deal with this information overload is to selectively orient attention to the most relevant location or piece of information. This seminar will survey the psychological as well as the neurobiological evidence on attention, focusing primarily on visual attention, which is by far the most widely studied and best understood form of attention.
