There has been a long-lasting debate about whether salient stimuli, such as uniquely
colored objects, have the ability to automatically distract us. To resolve this debate, it has …

This paper explores memory from a cognitive neuroscience perspective and examines
associated neural mechanisms. It examines the different types of memory: working …

For over 25 years, researchers have debated whether physically salient stimuli capture
attention in an automatic manner, independent of the observer's goals, or whether the …

Recently the signal-suppression account was proposed, positing that salient stimuli
automatically produce a bottom-up salience signal that can be suppressed via top-down …

A longstanding debate in visual attention research has been whether physically salient
objects have an automatic power to capture attention. Recent evidence has supported a …

There has been a long-standing debate concerning whether we are able to resist attention
capture by salient distractors. The so-called “signal suppression hypothesis” of Gaspelin and …

The current study touches on a central debate in the area of attention: how the human brain
handles distraction by salient stimuli. The idea of proactive suppression proposes a new …

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 …

There has been a longstanding debate as to whether salient stimuli have the power to
involuntarily capture attention. As a potential resolution to this debate, the signal …

Many attention theories assume that selection is guided by a preattentive, spatial
representation of the scene that combines bottom-up stimulus information with top-down …
