Attention and the crossmodal construction of space.

摘要: Traditional studies of spatial attention consider only a single sensory modality at time (e.g. just vision, or audition). In daily life, however, our often has to be coordinated across several modalities. This is non-trivial problem, given that each initially codes space in entirely different ways. the last five years, there been spate on crossmodal attention. These have demonstrated numerous links attention, such attending particular location one tends produce corresponding shifts other The coordinates these illustrate internal representation external depends extensive integration. Recent neuroscience are discussed suggest possible brain mechanisms for
