The attention is a powerful function. It is capable of creating the focus of our mind; it is capable of driving consciousness. It is closely related to the awareness and it produced by the process creates the consciousness, the process described in the post: How consciousness created. 

Attention is a shift in the weight of the active consciousness.

Attention works for example when we hear our name in the background at a party place, or when we are driving a car, and a pedestrian step down from the walkway, or a tiger follows its prey when hunting, or when our toothache vanish when we are reading an interesting book. How attention created and works in the process of consciousness?

Consciousness is created by an induction process described in the mentioned post before. The induction stimulated by an activation process which partially built-in into the system but can be conditioned and extended by the system, by the learning process. How the attention gets created and works in this process?

Attention, what we call attention is a weighting of the consciousness's activation process. A stimulus activates the induction of consciousness. This stimulus not just activates consciousness by stimulating the induction system but affect how strongly and extensively get activated the peripheral (associated) pathways in the consciousness. If the stimulus is stronger then more associated pathways and more strongly get excited, the attention, what we experiencing attention arises.
