Abstract

Over the last three decades, cognitive neuroscience has contributed outstandingly to research on attention. Selective attention is a key mechanism the brain uses to face the enormous flow of stimuli coming from the environment, with the ultimate purpose of focusing on the relevant object, thus achieving goal-directed behavior. Classical studies in monkeys and recent research using novel techniques in humans and other animals have been integrated, thereby contributing to the development of neural and functional models of explanation of several mechanisms through which visual selective attention is deemed to operate.
