degrades. Where do the limits on these resources come from? We focus on a variety of …

This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and
Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature clearly and concisely, illustrating it …

Human parietal cortex is implicated in a wide variety of sensory and cognitive functions, yet

Increasing evidence suggests that attention can concurrently select multiple locations; yet it
is not clear whether this ability relies on continuous allocation of attention to the different …

Attention can be divided so that multiple objects can be tracked simultaneously as they
move among distractors. Although attentional tracking is known to be highly limited, such …

targets were highly predictable. To truly isolate alertness we devised a sparse event-related …

Although sustaining a moderate level of attention is critical in daily life, evidence suggests
that attention is not deployed consistently, but rather fluctuates from moment to moment …

Sensory processing is influenced by cognitive and behavioral states, but how these states
interact to modulate responses of individual neurons is unknown. We trained mice in a …

Although in traditional attention research the focus of visual spatial attention has been
considered as indivisible, many studies in the last 15 years have claimed the contrary …
