Presents a view of neurodynamical approaches to attentional mechanisms with a take on neuropsychiatric illnesses which can shed light on these problems, specifically ADHD and schizophrenia. This work provides evidence pointing to genetic and neurochemical factors as important elements determining individual diversity in neurodynamical patterns
