Terms of debate: Consensus definitions to guide the scientific discourse on visual distraction

HR Liesefeld, D Lamy, N Gaspelin, JJ Geng… - Attention, Perception, & …, 2024 - Springer
Hypothesis-driven research rests on clearly articulated scientific theories. The building
blocks for communicating these theories are scientific terms. Obviously, communication–and …

Statistical learning of distractor locations is dependent on task context

J De Waard, D Van Moorselaar, L Bogaerts… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Through statistical learning, humans can learn to suppress visual areas that often contain
distractors. Recent findings suggest that this form of learned suppression is insensitive to …

Attention drives visual processing and audiovisual integration during multimodal communication

N Seijdel, JM Schoffelen, P Hagoort… - Journal of …, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
During communication in real-life settings, our brain often needs to integrate auditory and
visual information and at the same time actively focus on the relevant sources of information …

[HTML][HTML] Optimal parameters for rapid (invisible) frequency tagging using MEG

T Minarik, B Berger, O Jensen - NeuroImage, 2023 - Elsevier
Frequency tagging has been demonstrated to be a useful tool for identifying
representational-specific neuronal activity in the auditory and visual domains. However, the …

Suppressive control of incentive salience in real-world human vision

C Hickey, D Acunzo, J Dell - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Reward-related activity in the dopaminergic midbrain is thought to guide animal behavior, in
part by boosting the perceptual and attentional processing of reward-predictive …

Distractor inhibition by alpha oscillations is controlled by an indirect mechanism governed by goal-relevant information

O Jensen - Communications Psychology, 2024 - nature.com
The role of alpha oscillations (8–13 Hz) in cognition is intensively investigated. While
intracranial animal recordings demonstrate that alpha oscillations are associated with …

Separate cue-and alpha-related mechanisms for distractor suppression

ZV Redding, IC Fiebelkorn - Journal of neuroscience, 2024 - Soc Neuroscience
Research on selective attention has largely focused on the enhancement of behaviorally
important information, with less focus on the suppression of distracting information …

Age-related differences in the statistical learning of target selection and distractor suppression.

C Lega, V Di Caro, V Strina, R Daini - Psychology and Aging, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
In recent years, the use of implicit mechanisms based on statistical learning (SL) has
emerged as a strong factor in biasing visuospatial attention, so that target selection is …

Spatial transfer of object-based statistical learning

D Van Moorselaar, J Theeuwes - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2024 - Springer
A large number of recent studies have demonstrated that efficient attentional selection
depends to a large extent on the ability to extract regularities present in the environment …

Learning to resist distraction by spatially predictable luminance transients and color singletons: same or different mechanisms?

M Valsecchi, M Turatto - Visual Cognition, 2024 - Taylor & Francis
Stimuli that appear abruptly in the visual field or differ from the surrounding stimuli based on
a given visual feature can capture attention and interfere with the visual search process if …
