The last ten years of attention research have witnessed a revolution, replacing a theoretical
dichotomy (top-down vs. bottom-up control) with a trichotomy (biased by current goals …

In this article, we challenge the usefulness of “attention” as a unitary construct and/or neural
system. We point out that the concept has too many meanings to justify a single term, and …

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 …

Researchers have long debated whether salient stimuli can involuntarily 'capture'visual
attention. We review here evidence for a recently discovered inhibitory mechanism that may …

Over the past 20 years, the proposal that immersive media, such as video games, can be
leveraged to enhance brain plasticity and learning has been put to the test. This expanding …

While substantial effort has been invested in making robots more reliable, experience
demonstrates that robots operating in unstructured environments are often challenged by …

The present study investigated whether statistical regularities can influence visual selection.
We used the classic additional singleton task in which participants search for a salient shape …

Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

Recently it was argued that in addition to top-down and bottom-up processes, lingering
biases of selection history play a major role in visual selection (Awh, Belopolsky & …

Is it possible to learn something without being aware of it? How does emotion influence the
way we think? How can we improve our memory? Fundamentals of Cognition, third edition …
