Spatial selective attention and spatial working memory have largely been studied in
isolation. Studies of spatial attention have provided clear evidence that observers can bias …

Why and how people perceive the visual world as continuous and stable, despite the gross
changes of its retinal projection that occur with each saccade, is one of the classic problems …

Miller (1956) summarized evidence that people can remember about seven chunks in short-
term memory (STM) tasks. However, that number was meant more as a rough estimate and …

We propose a computational model for the task-specific guidance of visual attention in real-
world scenes. Our model emphasizes four aspects that are important in biological vision …

Commentators expressed a wide variety of views on whether there is a basic capacity limit of
3 to 5 chunks and, among those who believe in it, about why it occurs. In this response, I …

A neuroscientific perspective on the mind–body problem that focuses on how the brain
actually accomplishes mental causation. The issues of mental causation, consciousness …

One of the most influential theories in visual cognition proposes that attention is necessary to
bind different visual features into coherent object percepts (Treisman & Gelade, 1980) …

The present study investigated the usability of whole and partial report of briefly displayed
letter arrays as a diagnostic tool for the assessment of attentional functions. The tool is …

Theories of visual search have generally assumed that rejected distractors are marked so as
to avoid further processing of these items (memory-driven search). To test this assumption …

Previous work using single-cell recordings in monkeys and neuro-imaging studies in
humans has shown that perceiving an object or imaging the action associated with the …
