Improving inferences from brain imaging to understand selective attention

该项目旨在研究人脑中的注意力。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数量的信息，人们利用注意力来确定最重要的事情的优先顺序。科学家们已经有了关于大脑激活的详细信息，但需要新的方法和聚合的证据来将这种激活与它被认为支持的行为联系起来。该项目希望推进注意力如何工作的知识，改进从大脑成像得出的推论，并为了解大脑的全球努力做出贡献。

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.
