Summary
The interplay between ' attention' and 'time' has been relatively neglected in the psychology and neuroscience literatures until very recently. Attention & Time is the first book to address this foundational topic, bringing together several intriguing and hitherto fragmented findings into a compelling and cohesive field of enquiry. Section 1 considers variations of attention across time, and explores how attentional allocation is limited by very short or very long intervals of time.

Finally, Section 3 examines how attention can be directed in time, to predictable or expected moments in time, so as to optimise behaviour. --from publisher description.
