Attention is a critical cognitive function, allowing humans to select, enhance, and sustain
focus on information of behavioral relevance. Attention contains dissociable neural and …

Background The information processing capacity of the human mind is limited, as is
evidenced by the attentional blink (AB)-a deficit in identifying the second of two temporally …

If two centrally presented visual stimuli occur within approximately half a second of each
other, the second target often fails to be reported correctly. This effect, called the attentional …

Although we typically talk about attention as a single process, it comprises multiple
independent components. But what are these components, and how are they represented in …

Although fluctuations in sustained attention are ubiquitous, most psychological experiments
treat them as noise, averaging performance over many trials. The current study uses multi …

Highlights•Functional connectivity-based models predict individual differences in attentional
abilities.•Time-varying functional connectivity predicts changes in attentional states during …

Separable visual attention functions are assumed to rely on distinct but interacting neural
mechanisms. Bundesen's “theory of visual attention”(TVA) allows the mathematical …

The attentional blink (AB) has been central in characterizing the limit of temporal attention
and consciousness. The neural mechanism of the AB is still in hot debate. With a large …

Although attention plays a ubiquitous role in perception and cognition, researchers lack a
simple way to measure a person's overall attentional abilities. Because behavioral …

Attention is central to many aspects of cognition, but there is no singular neural measure of a
person's overall attentional functioning across tasks. Here, using original data from 92 …
