Interaction between Spatial and Feature Attention in Posterior Parietal Cortex

Neuroscience

Ibos and Freedman show that spatial and feature-based attention independently modulate activity in area LIP and that they added together. This suggests a common function of gating task-relevant features, whether they are spatial or non-spatial.
