Guiding Visual Attention in Dynamic Scenes

An episode of the Podcast "Secrets of the Flexible Brain" (in Hebrew). A discussion about cognitive ageing from a developmental perspective. 

This episode explores attention with Dr Nir Shalev from the Department of Gerontology. We discuss our remarkable ability to amplify important information from our environment, ignore what is irrelevant, and do so even under heavy load. What captures our attention? What are attentional difficulties? How can they be measured? And is there a link between our age and our ability to stay attentive?
