Our continuous visual experience in daily life is dominated by change. Previous research
has focused on visual change due to stimulus motion, eye movements or unfolding events …

People often remain “blind” to visual changes occurring during a brief interruption of the
display. The processing stages responsible for such failure remain unresolved. We used …

Awareness of change within a visual scene only occurs in the presence of focused attention.
When two versions of a complex scene are presented in alternating sequence separated by …

To identify electrophysiological correlates of preattentive and attentive processing of visual
changes, we compared event-related brain potentials in response to color changes at …

Attending to novelty is a critical element of human behavior and learning. Novel events can
serve as task-irrelevant distracters or as potential sources of engagement by interesting or …

We investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) the neural processes
associated with performance of a change-detection task. In this task, two versions of the …

Our visual environment is relatively stable over time. An optimized visual system could
capitalize on this by devoting less representational resources to objects that are physically …

This study investigated the role of stimulus deviance in determining electrophysiologic and
behavioral responses to “novelty.” Stimulus deviance was defined in terms of differences …

The phenomenon of change blindness reveals that people are surprisingly poor at detecting
unexpected visual changes; however, research on individual differences in detection ability …

We considered the hypothesis that spontaneous dissociation between the direction of
attention and eye movement causes encoding failure in change detection. We tested this …
