This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is long-term performance increase resulting from visual
perceptual experience. Task-relevant VPL of a feature results from training of a task on the …

Attention allows us to select relevant sensory information for preferential processing.
Behaviourally, it improves performance in various visual tasks. One prominent effect of …

Visual attention is essential for visual perception. Spatial attention allows us to grant priority
in processing and selectively process information at a given location. In this paper, I explain …

Each time we open our eyes we are confronted with an overwhelming amount of
information. Despite this, we experience a seemingly effortless understanding of our visual …

Both exogenous and endogenous covert spatial attention enhance contrast sensitivity, a
fundamental measure of visual function that depends substantially on the spatial frequency …

We summarize and discuss a series of psychophysical studies on the effects of spatial covert
attention on spatial resolution, our ability to discriminate fine patterns. Heightened resolution …

Thevisual system can use a rich variety of contours to segment visual scenes into distinct
perceptually coherent regions. However, successfully segmenting an image is a …

The function of consciousness was explored in two contexts of audio–visual speech, cross-
modal visual attention guidance and McGurk cross-modal integration. Experiments 1, 2, and …

Successfully navigating a dynamic environment requires the efficient distribution of finite
neural resources. Voluntary (endogenous) covert spatial attention selectively allocates those …
