Papers and notes from previous semesters can be found in the BCS meeting archive|../../../../../../../../../../display/BCS/Past+BCS+Meetings||||||||\.
The overarching theme this semester is likely to be "Active Sensation", perhaps to be modified at our first meeting. Please interpret BCS themes broadly -- they are meant to focus rather than to exclude.

- Desimone and Duncan (1995). Neural mechanisms of selective visual attention\. This review is still the canonical theoretical framework for visual attention in neuroscience. We are likely to refer back to it repeatedly over the course of the semester as we read and discuss other papers.
- Chapter 1 from Harold Pashler's book The Psychology of Attention (1998)|https://confluence.cornell.edu/download/attachments/89461995/Pashler_Ch1.pdf\. A classic from the cognitive science perspective. Particularly notable is the author's position that the term "attention" is poorly defined and no longer useful.
