Researchers have long debated whether salient stimuli can involuntarily 'capture'visual
attention. We review here evidence for a recently discovered inhibitory mechanism that may …

Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

There has been a long-lasting debate about whether salient stimuli, such as uniquely
colored objects, have the ability to automatically distract us. To resolve this debate, it has …

A study that goes beyond the debate over functional specialization to describe the ways that
emotion and cognition interact and are integrated in the brain. The idea that a specific brain …

Current knowledge on the architecture of exogenous attention (also called automatic, bottom-
up, or stimulus-driven attention, among other terms) has been mainly obtained from studies …

The rapid and efficient selection of emotionally salient or goal-relevant stimuli in the
environment is crucial for flexible and adaptive behaviors. Converging data from …

An essential guide to designing, conducting, and analyzing event-related potential (ERP)
experiments, completely updated for this edition. The event-related potential (ERP) …

Researchers have long debated how salient-but-irrelevant features guide visual attention.
Pure stimulus-driven theories claim that salient stimuli automatically capture attention …

Because of the precise temporal resolution of electrophysiological recordings, the event-
related potential (ERP) technique has proven particularly valuable for testing theories of …

Visual search, a vital task for humans and animals, has also become a common and
important tool for studying many topics central to active vision and cognition ranging from …
