Behavioral gain following isolation of attention

Abstract Stable sensory perception is achieved through balanced excitatory-inhibitory interactions of lateralized sensory processing. In real world experience, sensory processing is rarely equal across lateralized processing regions, resulting in continuous rebalancing. Using lateralized attention a...

description	Abstract Stable sensory perception is achieved through balanced excitatory-inhibitory interactions of lateralized sensory processing.
