Rewards are crucial objects that induce learning, approach behavior, choices, and
emotions. Whereas emotions are difficult to investigate in animals, the learning function is …

Selective visual attention describes the tendency of visual processing to be confined largely
to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive …

The brain has a limited capacity and therefore needs mechanisms to selectively enhance
the information most relevant to one's current behavior. We refer to these mechanisms as" …

We review evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different
attentional functions. One system, which includes parts of the intraparietal cortex and …

Information Visualization: Perception for Design, Fourth Edition explores the art and science
of why we see objects the way we do. Based on the science of perception and vision, the …

Abstract Models of gaze allocation in complex scenes are derived mainly from studies of
static picture viewing. The dominant framework to emerge has been image salience, where …

The dorsal convexity of the human frontal and parietal lobes forms a network that is crucially
involved in the selection of sensory contents by attention. This network comprehends cortex …

One of the enduring mysteries of brain function concerns the process of cognitive control.
How does complex and seemingly wilful behaviour emerge from interactions between …

An analysis of response latencies shows that when an image is presented to the visual
system, neuronal activity is rapidly routed to a large number of visual areas. However, the …

In cluttered scenes, we can use feature-based attention to quickly locate a target object. To
understand how feature attention is used to find and select objects for action, we focused on …
