How do we find what we are looking for? Even when the desired target is in the current field
of view, we need to search because fundamental limits on visual processing make it …

The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a
simple example. Consider the arrays shown in each panel of Figure 1. In a typical …

An important component of routine visual behavior is the ability to find one item in a visual
world filled with other, distracting items. This ability to perform visual search has been the …

Surprising as it may seem, research shows that we rarely see what we are looking at unless
our attention is directed to it. This phenomenon can have serious life-and-death …

Global context plays an important, but poorly understood, role in visual tasks. This study
demonstrates that a robust memory for visual context exists to guide spatial attention. Global …

Most of our knowledge about the functional organization of neuronal systems is based on
the analysis of the firing patterns of individual neurons that have been recorded one by one …

As you drive into the centre of town, cars and trucks approach from several directions, and
pedestrians swarm into the intersection. The wind blows a newspaper into the gutter and a …

This state of the art report focuses on glyph-based visualization, a common form of visual
design where a data set is depicted by a collection of visual objects referred to as glyphs. Its …

A biologically motivated computational model of bottom-up visual selective attention was
used to examine the degree to which stimulus salience guides the allocation of attention …

▪ Abstract Perceptual learning involves relatively long-lasting changes to an organism's
perceptual system that improve its ability to respond to its environment. Four mechanisms of …
