Spatial Attention

I have developed psychophysical and physiological techniques to measure the spatial property of visual attention, which is an essential aspect of attention. We reported several interesting findings with a technique that uses EEGs. Our results clearly showed the attentional modulation at locations, where a person does not pay attention subjectively.
