Psalm 139:14 NLT
"Sridharan has long been fascinated by attention—how our brain decides to focus on one specific object in front of us and not get distracted by other objects in the background. In two recent studies,
his team has teased out distinct brain regions and mechanisms involved in our ability to pay attention.
"When you pay attention to something, the brain processes information from it better and extracts useful content from that information—this aspect of attention is what we call sensitivity," explains Sridharan. "Bias is the brain deciding that some information is more important than others for
making decisions."
Sridharan and his group have shown that a particular region of the brain, called the right posterior parietal cortex (rPCC), specifically regulates the bias component of attention."
