Spatial maps, feature integration and parietal function

implications from the study of spatial deficits

Lynn C. Robertson

pp. 147-161

In this chapter I discuss some of what can and cannot be visually perceived without spatial awareness, how attentional selection of visual information is affected by damage to neural systems that support spatial processing, how spatial processing in turn is involved in binding surface features such as color and shape together and how multiple spatial maps may guide attention. Relevance of neurolopsychological patient studies is also examined.
