Selective attention allows us to prioritize relevant inputs, and can be allocated to features …

Parallel gain modulation mechanisms set the resolution of color selectivity in human visual cortex

MC Schulz, MV Bartsch, C Merkel, H Strumpf… - Science …, 2024‏ - science.org
Color discrimination is fundamental to human behavior. We find bananas by coarsely
searching for yellow but then differentiate nuances of yellow to pick the best exemplars. How …

[HTML][HTML] Electrophysiological evidence for the optimal tuning of attention

D Kerzel - Scientific Reports, 2025‏ - nature.com
Optimal tuning of attention refers to shifts in goal-driven attention that increase the difference
between the representation of the target and nontarget features. Evidence for optimal tuning …

Trial history contributes to the optimal tuning of attention.

D Kerzel, S Huynh Cong - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2024‏ - psycnet.apa.org
In visual search tasks, targets are difficult to find when they are similar to the surrounding
nontargets. In this scenario, it is optimal to tune attention to target features that maximize the …

Task-adaptive changes to the target template in response to distractor context: Separability versus similarity.

X Yu, RA Rahim, JJ Geng - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2024‏ - psycnet.apa.org
Theories of attention hypothesize the existence of an attentional template that contains
target features in working or long-term memory. It is frequently assumed that the template …

Repulsion bias is insensitive to spatial attention, yet expands during active working memory maintenance

M Sun, Y Huang, H Ying - Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2024‏ - Springer
Our brain sometimes represents visual information in a biased manner. Multiple visual
features presented simultaneously or sequentially may interact with each other when we …

Navigating Style Variations in Scene Text Image Super-Resolution through Multi-Scale Perception

Going through the motions: Biasing of dynamic attentional templates.

SEP Boettcher, AC Nobre - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2024‏ - psycnet.apa.org
Attention must coordinate with memory to actively anticipate sensory input and guide action.
Memory content may be biased away from veridical when it is functionally adaptive. So far …
