to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is traditionally associated with attention, perceptual
decision making and sensorimotor transformations, but more recent human neuroimaging …

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 …

Our ability to focus on goal‐relevant aspects of the environment is critically dependent on
our ability to ignore or inhibit distracting information. One perspective is that distractor …

Distractor suppression, or the ability to disregard salient distractors while dealing with task-
relevant information, is a key component of selective attention. Recent research has shown …

Our everyday surroundings besiege us with information. The battle is for a share of our
