This project aims to study attention in the human brain. Everything people think and do depends on the ability to pay attention. Since brains can only process a limited amount of information at once, people use attention to prioritise what is most important. Scientists have detailed information about brain activation, but need new methods and converging evidence to link this activation with the behaviour it is thought to support. The project expects to advance knowledge about how attention works, improve inferences made from brain imaging, and contribute to a global effort to understand the brain.

该项目旨在研究人类大脑中的注意力。人们所想和所做的一切都取决于注意力的能力。由于大脑一次只能处理有限的信息，人们会利用注意力来优先考虑最重要的事情。科学家们有关于大脑激活的详细信息，但需要新的方法和汇集证据来将这种激活与它被认为支持的行为联系起来。该项目预计将推进有关注意力如何工作的知识，改善从大脑成像中得出的推论，并为全球了解大脑的努力做出贡献。
