    Summary note
    This book is the first to bring together leading researchers to discuss the convergence of experimental findings in the following areas: visual selective attention, attention and perceptual integration, spatial representation and attention, visual attention and action, and control of attention. Attention, Space, and Action provides a unique combination of perspectives that will appeal to students and researchers from psychology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, and neuroanatomy.
    Notes
    "Drawn from papers reported to two linked meetings, a discussion meeting of the Royal Society ... and a meeting at the Novartis Foundation ... held in November 1997"--Pref.
