Description
A key property of neural processing in higher mammals is the ability to focus resources by selectively directing attention to relevant
perceptions, thoughts or actions. Research into attention has grown rapidly over the past two decades, as new techniques have become
available to study higher brain function in humans, non-human primates, and other mammals. Neurobiology of Attention
is the first encyclopedic volume to summarize the latest developments in attention research.
An authoritative collection of over 100
chapters organized into thematic sections provides both broad coverage and access to focused, up-to-date research findings. This book
presents a state-of-the-art multidisciplinary perspective on psychological, physiological and computational approaches to understanding
the neurobiology of attention. Ideal for students, as a reference handbook or for rapid browsing, the book has a wide appeal to anybody
intereseted in attention research.
Audience
Students and researchers studying computational, perceptual, and cognitive neuroscience, as well as neuropsychologists.
