About the Book

Bringing together leading researchers to discuss the convergence of experimental findings, this book examines visual selective attention; attention and perceptual integration; spatial representation and attention; visual attention and action; control of attention; attention; and space and action. To generate coherent behaviour, the brain needs to attend selectively to the many objects that are present in the environment, but this poses several questions. How does the brain know which objects "belong together"? How does the information from different senses get combined? How does this help to plan and carry out actions? The subject of attentional mechanisms has a long history in cognitive psychology, as it is the key to making sense of the visual world. This book looks at how late 1990s developments in cognitive neuroscience, and greater understanding of how attention and action are integrated, have transformed the field.
