Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

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 …

▪ Abstract Three central problems in the recent literature on visual attention are reviewed.
The first concerns the control of attention by top-down (or goal-directed) and bottom-up (or …

We examined a visual search task, in which observers responded to the high-acuity aspect
of a popout target (shape of an odd-colored diamond or vernier offset of an odd spatial …

Accurate saccadic programming in natural visual scenes requires a signal designating
which of the many potential targets is to be the goal of the saccade. Is this signal controlled …

A model for aspects of visual attention based on the concept of selective tuning is presented.
It provides for a solution to the problems of selection in an image, information routing …

Human observers fixated the center of a search array and were required to discriminate the
color of an odd target if it was present. The array consisted of horizontal or vertical black or …

In an earlier paper (Maljkovic & Nakayama, 1994) we showed that repetition of an attention-
driving feature primes the deployment of attention to the same feature on subsequent trials …

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

This book is a succinct introduction to the orienting of attention. Richard Wright and
Lawrence Ward describe the covert orienting literature clearly and concisely, illustrating it …
