A rather basic question, but I don't know the answer to that - What is human attention that can be focused on different parts of the body or outside objects?For example, I can focus my attention on my hand. What happens in the brain when I do so? Is attention localized to some specific brain area or neurotransmitter system (ex: reward seeking is mediated by the limbic system)?
What is Attention in terms of brain activity?
