Recent studies have revealed a strong relationship between visual working memory and
selective attention, such that attention is biased by what is currently on our mind. However …

Visual search, a vital task for humans and animals, has also become a common and
important tool for studying many topics central to active vision and cognition ranging from …

The prefrontal cortex is thought to modulate sensory signals in posterior cortices during top-
down attention,, but little is known about the underlying neural circuitry. Experimental and …

We review a new computational model developed to understand how evidence about
stimulus salience in visual search is translated into a saccade command. The model uses …

Purposive action requires the selection of a single movement goal from multiple possibilities.
Neural structures involved in movement planning and execution often exhibit activity related …

In everyday life attention operates within complex and dynamic environments, while
laboratory paradigms typically employ simple and stereotyped stimuli. This fMRI study …

The speed–accuracy trade-off (SAT) is ubiquitous in decision tasks. While the neural
mechanisms underlying decisions are generally well characterized, the application of …

Our ability to process visual information is fundamentally limited. This leads to competition
between sensory information that is relevant for top-down goals and sensory information that …

While the frontal eye fields (FEF) are traditionally associated with eye movements, recent
work indicates possible roles in controlling selective visual processing. We applied 10 Hz …

Spatial attention bears a remarkable resemblance to saccadic eye movements from both a
behavioural and a neurophysiological point of view. In this review, we examine the …
