Attention amplifies neural representations of changes in sensory input at the expense of perceptual accuracy

We allocate attention to relevant sensory stimuli to enhance their neural processing. Here, the authors show that attention, like adaptation, causes a misrepresentation and misperception of visual changes in our environment in cases where this aids the perceptual task at hand.
