Attention and Brain Function cover

This book explores the intricate relationship between attention and brain function, providing valuable insights into cognitive psychology and neurophysiological investigations.

Originally published in 1992, Attention and Brain Function presents groundbreaking psychophysiological research that utilizes computerized techniques to record and evaluate event-related brain potentials. This innovative approach provides a deeper understanding of how the brain processes attention, revealing the intricate relationships between cognitive psychology and neurophysiological investigations.

The application of multichannel magnetoencephalography is a key focus of the book, as it significantly enhances the accuracy of localizing the neuronal generators that are responsible for attention. By employing these advanced techniques, the author sheds light on the mechanisms underlying attentional processes and how they manifest in brain activity. This detailed exploration offers valuable insights for both researchers and practitioners in the fields of psychology and neuroscience.

In addition to its technical contributions, Attention and Brain Function serves as a comprehensive resource, compiling a wealth of information derived from cognitive psychology studies related to attention. The findings presented in this book not only advance scientific knowledge but also have practical implications for understanding attentional disorders and developing effective interventions. Overall, this work stands as a significant contribution to the field, bridging the gap between cognitive psychology and neurophysiology.
