Overview

Synthesizing the theories, concepts, and experimental findings of the many disciplines within psychology and the neurosciences, this volume aims to create a more systematic and integrated theoretical framework for the neuropsychology of attention. The framework will provide researchers-especially those studying brain dysfunction-with a fuller understanding of human cognitive experience.
