Abstract
Posner & Raichle (1994) is a nice addition to the Scientific American Library and the average reader will both enjoy the book and learn a gr eat deal. As an active researcher, however, I find the book disappoint ing in many respects. My two major disappointments are in the illusion of computation that is created throughout the volume and in the inade quate perspective of the presentation on visual attention.
