The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a
simple example. Consider the arrays shown in each panel of Figure 1. In a typical …

Cognition and comportment are subserved by interconnected neural networks that allow
high‐level computational architectures including parallel distributed processing. Cognitive …

The ability to localize objects in three-dimensional space is fundamental to many of our
interactions with the environment. This ability often depends on visual perception of the size …

Single cells were recorded in the visual cortex of monkeys trained to attend to stimuli at one
location in the visual field and ignore stimuli at another. When both locations were within the …

Publisher Summary Basal ganglia contribute to a wide variety of behavioral functions,
including skeletomotor, oculomotor, cognitive, and limbic processes. This chapter focuses …

This long-awaited work by prominent Harvard psychologist Stephen Kosslyn integrates a
twenty-year research program on the nature of high-level vision and mental imagery. Image …

Unilateral neglect reflects a disturbance in the spatial distribution of directed attention. A
review of unilateral neglect syndromes in monkeys and humans suggests that four cerebral …

For many years there has been a debate about the role of the parietal lobe in the generation
of behavior. Does it generate movement plans (intention) or choose objects in the …

Discusses anatomical and physiological evidence that places subdivisions of the prefrontal
cortex within parallel systems of distributed neural networks and emphasizes their …

More than one third of the human brain is devoted to the processes of seeing-vision is after
all the main way in which we gather information about the world. But human vision is a …
