Abstract
In a brief introduction to the symposium, we will spell out the main questions and issues framing cognitive neuroscience studies of attention when we conducted our first temporal orienting combining behavioural methods with PET, fMRI, and ERPS. We will reflect on the strands of research at the time which helped guide our thinking and interpretation of results; and then consider the rich, varied, and many ways in which the temporal attention field has evolved into its exciting, dynamic, and multifaceted guise.
