The influential “premotor theory of attention” proposes that developing oculomotor
commands mediate covert visual spatial attention. A likely source of this attentional bias is …

What you see is determined by what you attend to. At any given time, the environment
presents far more perceptual information than can be effectively processed. Visual attention …

Animal learning is associated with changes in the efficacy of connections between neurons.
The rules that govern this plasticity can be tested in neural networks. Rules that train neural …

Many cognitive tasks are serial in that they require several steps that have to be carried out
in a sequence. Here, I outline a new theory of how these processing steps are implemented …

We examined the responses of neurons in posterior parietal area 7a to salient stimuli
appearing alone or within multiple-stimulus displays in monkeys trained only to maintain …

We investigated the saccade decision process by examining activity recorded in the frontal
eye field (FEF) of monkeys performing 2 separate visual search experiments in which there …

How do visual signals evolve from early to late stages in sensory processing? We explored
this question by examining two neural correlates of spatial attention. The capture of attention …

The latency and variability of latency of single-unit responses to identical visual stimulation
were measured in the frontal eye field (FEF), supplementary eye field (SEF), and anterior …

How are the experiences of childhood incorporated into the structures of the developing
brain, and how do these changes in the brain influence behaviour? This is one of the many …

ABSTRACT The Selective Tuning Model (STM) is a proposal for the explanation at the
computational and behavioral levels of visual attention in humans and primates. Key …
