Title: Splitting attention into its atomic components
Host: Raj Rao
Abstract: Every day, our senses face an information overload. How does our brain select what information is relevant for behavior and what is not? This is the central question driving our research: to understand the neural basis of the cognitive capacity that we intuitively understand as “selective attention”. Despite decades of effort, psychologists and neuroscientists alike continue to grapple with essential questions about attention, including its very definition.
