Attention prioritizes certain information at the expense of other information in ways that are similar across vision, audition, and other sensory modalities. It influences how—and even what—information is represented and processed, affecting brain activity at every level. Much of the core research into cognitive and neural mechanisms of attention has used visual tasks. However, the same top‐down, object‐based, and bottom‐up attentional processes shape auditory perception, largely through the same underlying, cognitive networks.
