Since its inception, the contextual cueing (CC) paradigm has generated considerable
interest in various fields of cognitive sciences because it constitutes an elegant approach to …

Repeated contexts yield faster response time in visual search, compared with novel
contexts. This effect is known as contextual cueing. Despite extensive study over the past …

Many experiments have shown that the human visual system makes extensive use of
contextual information for facilitating object search in natural scenes. However, the question …

Contextual cuing experiments show that when displays are repeated, reaction times to find a
target decrease over time even when observers are not aware of the repetition. It has been …

In visual saliency estimation, one of the most challenging tasks is to distinguish targets and
distractors that share certain visual attributes. With the observation that such targets and …

Many studies claim that visual regularities can be learned unconsciously and without explicit
awareness. For example in the contextual cueing paradigm, studies often make claims using …

Traditionally, recognizing the objects within a scene has been treated as a prerequisite to
recognizing the scene itself. However, research now suggests that the ability to rapidly …

We propose a novel framework for automatic saliency estimation in natural images. We
consider saliency to be an anomaly with respect to a given context that can be global or …

A number of studies have demonstrated that the likelihood of a salient item capturing
attention is dependent on the “attentional set” an individual employs in a given situation. The …

Our visual brain is remarkable in extracting invariant properties from the noisy environment,
guiding selection of where to look and what to identify. However, how the brain achieves this …
