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 …

A fundamental goal of visualization is to produce images of data that support visual analysis,
exploration, and discovery of novel insights. An important consideration during visualization …

The visual world can be parsimoniously characterized in terms of distinct entities with sparse
interactions. Discovering this compositional structure in dynamic visual scenes has proven …

Deep neural networks have revolutionized computer vision, and their object representations
across layers match coarsely with visual cortical areas in the brain. However, whether these …

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 …

Summary In Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 1, the Scottish rebel, the Earl of Douglas, engages
in a visual search task. He is searching for King Henry in a field full of soldiers who are not …

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 …

Two tasks were used to evaluate the grain of visual attention, the minimum spacing at which
attention can select individual items. First, observers performed a tracking task at many …

Observers, searching for targets among distractor items, guide attention with a mix of top-
down information--based on observers' knowledge--and bottom-up information--stimulus …

Drawing on a modern neurocognitive framework, this full-color textbook introduces the entire
field of cognition through an engaging narrative. Emphasizing the common neural …
