In this class, we will study basic mechanisms of attention, how researchers investigate attention, and how these basic concepts are used in design, legal, and engineering applications. We will also cover a wide range of attention-related topics, including multi-tasking, mind-wandering, mindfulness, neuropsychological disorders of attention (such as spatial neglect), and ADHD. This is an active learning course involving weekly group activities and discussions.
