DESCRIPTION:
This special issue draws together research from leading figures in this field, to highlight recent progress in understanding how selective processes operate in perception and action.. This work has begun to allow us to understand not only the functional properties of visual attention, but also how attentional processes are localized in the brain: the cognitive neuroscience of visual attention. Over the past ten years, there have been considerable advances in research into visual attention, with many of these advances linked to interdisciplinary research in experimental psychology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology and functional imaging. In order to produce coherent behaviour in a complex world, forms of visual attention are necessary in order for us to select appropriate objects for action
