Abstract: It is believed that the human cognitive system is fundamentally limited in deploying attention over time. Directing attention to a target prevents accurate report of a second target presented within approximately 500 ms of the first. This impairment has been termed the attentional blink (AB). The AB paradigm has been primarily in the focus of investigations of the time course of attention. In this paper, we provide an overview of recent cognitive neuroscience studies devoted to analyze the neural process underlying the AB and their temporal dynamics. The research results support the idea that the interaction between top-down and bottom -up maybe contribute to the AB

Key words: attentional blink, neural basis, attention control, P300
