Mechanisms of attention are crucial for prioritizing sensory inputs that are currently relevant for guiding behavior. Much recent work has focused on how the human visual system selects subsets of stimuli based upon elementary features such as color. I will review recent work in which we have used novel behavioral tasks, combined with non-invasive imaging and stimulation techniques, to investigate feature-based selection processes in the healthy brain and in patients with central and peripheral visual dysfunction
