Theoretical analysis redefines attention, suggesting it results from priority signals and task sets, highlighting implications for models of consciousness.
The groundbreaking, anti-homuncular view presented by the author complements conclusions from diverse areas of research, including (a) research on phenomena not concerning attention (e.g., involving anosognosia, scotomata, dreams, and consciousness) and (b) the hypothesis that attention should be construed as an effect (e.g., from the activation of priority signals and task sets ) rather than as a cause.
