The methods, findings, and theories that underpin our understanding of attention (alertness, preparation, selection, and control of information processing) are covered. Behavioural and neuroscientific evidence as well as computational models are examined in the lectures. Laboratories emphasize behavioural methods used to isolate and reveal the components of attention.
