Eye movements are an integral and essential part of our human foveated vision system.
Here, we review recent work on voluntary eye movements, with an emphasis on the last …

What is attention? How does attention shape consciousness? In an approach that engages
with foundational topics in the philosophy of mind, the theory of action, psychology, and the …

Inspired by the primate visual system, computational saliency models decompose visual
input into a set of feature maps across spatial scales in a number of pre-specified channels …

While the field of vision science has grown significantly in the past three decades, there
have been few comprehensive books that showed readers how to adopt a computional …

The bottom-up contribution to the allocation of exogenous attention is a saliency map,
whose neural substrate is hard to identify because of possible contamination by top-down …

The predictions of 13 computational bottom-up saliency models and a newly introduced
Multiscale Contrast Conspicuity (MCC) metric are compared with human visual conspicuity …

How efficient is visual search in real scenes? In searches for targets among arrays of
randomly placed distractors, efficiency is often indexed by the slope of the reaction time …

Humans and other primates shift their gaze to allocate processing resources to a subset of
the visual input. Understanding and emulating the way that human observers free-view a …

The mammalian superior colliculus (SC) serves the crucial function of guiding and
