Attention and eye movements provide a window into the selective processing of visual
information. Evidence suggests that selection is influenced by various factors and is not …

Observers represent the average properties of object ensembles even when they cannot
identify individual elements. To investigate the functional role of ensemble statistics, we …

In a concurrent eye‐tracking and EEG study, we investigated the impact of salience on the
monitoring and control of eye movement behavior and the role of visual working memory …

Recent studies show that time plays a primary role in determining whether visual selection is
influenced by stimulus salience or guided by observers' intentions. Accordingly, when a …

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a vital role in goal-directed behaviours, by enabling executive
functions like working memory, planning, decision-making, and inhibitory control. This thesis …

When in time a response is made seems critically important in defining whether visual
selection is driven by physical stimulus-salience or goal-driven control. In study 1 we …
