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 …

Priority maps are winner‐take‐all neural mechanisms thought to guide the allocation of
covert and overt attention. Here, we go beyond this standard definition and argue that …

Abstract [Correction Notice: An erratum for this article was reported in Vol 118 (1) of
Psychological Review (see record 2011-00732-008). The presentation of the colors in …

As discussed in Chapter 11 of this volume, attention plays a role in the perception of simple
stimuli, serving as a gain control that enhances the speed or accuracy of feedforward visual …

Working memory (WM) and decision-making (DM) are fundamental cognitive functions
involving a distributed interacting network of brain areas, with the posterior parietal cortex …

Perceptual decision making requires a complex set of computations to implement, evaluate,
and adjust the conversion of sensory input into a categorical judgment. Little is known about …

During visual search, it is important to reduce the interference of distracting objects in the
scene. The neuronal responses elicited by the search target stimulus are typically …

We describe a stochastic accumulator model demonstrating that visual search performance
can be understood as a gated feedforward cascade from a salience map to multiple …

This article reviews what is currently known about how the brain selects targets for saccadic
eye movements. Saccade target selection is needed because primates can look at just one …

The visual world is full of objects and it is an interesting fact that we can see more of that
world than we can understand at any given moment. Thus, looking at this picture of a park …
