視覺注意力的研究議題與神經生理機制

A Brief Review on Visual Selective Attention

由於認知心理學和神經科學的結合，讓研究者在最近的幾十年內發表許多創新及重要的視覺注意力研究。在本篇文章中，將會分別介紹在心理物理學、神經生理學及現代腦照影上經典的視覺注意力理論與研究。未來注意力研究的發展，將會是結合不同的腦照影技術以深入探討視覺注意力各個層面的機制為必然的趨勢，本文也將介紹使用不同腦造影技術，以深入探討視覺注意力的研究。

The marriage of cognitive psychology and neuroscience makes it possible for researchers to conduct integrative studies on visual attention. In this article, several seminal psychophysical, neruoimaging and neurophysiological theories and studies are reviewed to demonstrate the remarkable achievements of visual attention research in the past decades. This review also indicates that the development in the collaborative researches using complementary neuroimaging techniques will be the future trends of visual selective attention studies.
