| Summary |
The application of multichannel magnetoencephalography greatly contributes to the exact localization of corresponding neuronal generators responsible for attention. This book presents original psychophysiological research based on computerized techniques of recording and evaluating event-related brain potentials. Originally published in 1992, this book presents original psychophysiological research based on computerized techniques of recording and evaluating event-related brain potentials. The application of multichannel magnetoencephalography greatly contributes to exact localization of corresponding neuronal generators responsible for attention. The book contains a bulk of information concerning data obtained by cognitive psychology in the area of study of attention. These results are closely linked with neurophysiological investigation of attention |
