Orienting of attention

"This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature, illustrating it with numerous high-quality images, specifically designed to make the challenging theoretical concepts very accessible. They present a comprehensive survey of cognitive neuroscience research on the brain mechanisms underlying spatial attention shifts, as well as a chapter summarizing recent research on crossmodal attention shifts, and elucidating the links between attention orienting in the visual, auditory, and tactile domains. Orienting of Attention provides a systematic survey that is ideal for those looking for an accessible introduction to the field and also for students and researchers who want a state-of-the-art overview."--Jacket.

המשפט הראשון: People have known for millennia that, if we make the effort, we can shift our attention slightly to the side of where our eyes are pointing.
