BRAIN MECHANISMS OF ATTENTION

Just as colleagues were ready, willing, and able to visit Hanover to carry out studies on our patients, we, scientists and patients, were ready to travel to far-off places for testing. This was especially true for places like Steve Hillyard’s lab at the University of California, San Diego, in La Jolla, with its unique natural setting.

As I mentioned earlier, Hillyard used event-related potentials, the complex brain imaging procedure that allows one to study both the timing and, to some extent, the actual place in the brain that generates particular brain waves.14 When he first arrived at UCSD, Steve was housed in the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, on the beach. As the years rolled by, the university built a more traditional building up on the bluffs and Steve lost his coveted space. It is there that I met his hotshot student, Steve Luck. Luck describes his first testing session with J.W., who’d accompanied us out west.
