Dorsal and ventral attention systems: distinct neural circuits but collaborative roles
The idea of two separate attention networks in the human brain for the voluntary deployment
of attention and the reorientation to unexpected events, respectively, has inspired an …

From behavior to neural dynamics: an integrated theory of attention
The brain has a limited capacity and therefore needs mechanisms to selectively enhance
the information most relevant to one's current behavior. We refer to these mechanisms as" …
