Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

During social interactions, people's eyes convey a wealth of information about their direction
of attention and their emotional and mental states. This review aims to provide a …

Research on attention has evolved dramatically in recent years. There are now many new
ways of studying how we are able to select some aspects for processing, whilst ignoring …

Immediately following an event at a peripheral location there is facilitation for the processing
of other stimuli near that location. This is said to reflect a reflexive shift of attention towards …

▪ Abstract Three central problems in the recent literature on visual attention are reviewed.
The first concerns the control of attention by top-down (or goal-directed) and bottom-up (or …

A biologically motivated computational model of bottom-up visual selective attention was
used to examine the degree to which stimulus salience guides the allocation of attention …

The ability to efficiently search the visual environment is a critical function of the visual
system, and recent research has shown that experience playing action video games can …

This paper argues that a theory of situated vision, suited for the dual purposes of object
recognition and the control of action, will have to provide something more than a system that …

Using overt orienting, participants searched a complex visual scene for a camouflaged
target (Waldo from the “Where's Waldo?™” books). After several saccades, we presented an …

Singer, 1994). The basis for this argument is that it is necessary to “tag” each visual neuron
to signify the object to which its activity relates. Each neuron therefore has to carry two …
