This review focuses on covert attention and how it alters early vision. I explain why attention
is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

Recent years have seen an explosion of research on the N2 component of the event‐related
potential, a negative wave peaking between 200 and 350 ms after stimulus onset. This …

A proposal for saliency computation within the visual cortex is put forth based on the premise
that localized saliency computation serves to maximize information sampled from one's …

Whether small numerical quantities are represented by a special subitizing system that is
distinct from a large-number estimation system has been debated for over a century. Here …

Attentional selection of a target presented among distractors can be indexed with an event-
related potential (ERP) component known as the N2pc. Theoretical interpretation of the …

Electroencephalographic studies in humans have demonstrated that orienting of visual
attention induces a decrease in oscillatory α‐band activity (α‐desynchronization) over …

Attention allows us to select relevant sensory information for preferential processing.
Behaviourally, it improves performance in various visual tasks. One prominent effect of …

The biased competition theory of selective attention has been an influential neural theory of
attention, motivating numerous animal and human studies of visual attention and visual …

The derivation, exposition, and justification of the Selective Tuning model of vision and
attention. Although William James declared in 1890," Everyone knows what attention is," …

Distractor suppression refers to the ability to filter out distracting and task-irrelevant
information. Distractor suppression is essential for survival and considered a key aspect of …
