Inherent in visual scene analysis is a bottleneck associated with the need to sequentially
sample locations with foveating eye movements. The concept of a 'saliency …

Evaluating external and internal stimuli is critical to survival. Potentially tissue-damaging
conditions generate sensory experiences that the organism must respond to in an …

Everyone knows what bottom-up is, and how it is different from top-down. At least one is
tempted to think so, given that both terms are ubiquitously used, but only rarely defined in …

While the field of vision science has grown significantly in the past three decades, there
have been few comprehensive books that showed readers how to adopt a computional …

Predictive coding is an influential model of cortical neural activity. It proposes that perceptual
beliefs are furnished by sequentially minimising “prediction errors”—the differences between …

Perceptual learning is associated with experience-based changes in stimulus salience.
Here, we use a novel procedure to show that learning a new association between a self …

Emerging hypotheses suggest that efficient cognitive functioning requires the integration of
separate, but interconnected cortical networks in the brain. Although task-related measures …

A stable self-representation has an intrinsically beneficial connotation for information
processing: it allows the individual to flexibly adapt to different contexts, while prioritizing …

Philosophers routinely invoke self‐control in their theorizing, but major questions remain
about what exactly self‐control is. I propose a componential account in which an exercise of …

We investigated the effects of task demands and individual differences on the allocation of
attention. Using the same stimuli, participants indicated the orientation of a line contained in …
