Endogenous Spatial Attention: Evidence for Intact Functioning in Adults With Autism
Michael A. Grubb,Marlene Behrmann,Ryan Egan,Nancy J. Minshew,Marisa Carrasco,Marisa Carrasco,David J. Heeger,David J. Heeger +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that high‐functioning adults with autism exhibited slower reaction times overall with spatial uncertainty, but the effects of attention on performance accuracies and reaction times were indistinguishable between individuals with autism and typically developing individuals in all three experiments.

Smart polymer image processor
TL;DR: In this paper, a smart array is defined as a conducting polymer device which provides local gain adjustment for video display such that the entire sensor dynamic range available, typically more than 16 bits in the infrared detector case, can be utilized locally to solve the intra-scene contrast problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attention enhances contrast appearance via increased input baseline of neural responses
TL;DR: A modeled performance in the task as a function of underlying neural contrast-response functions revealed that an increased input baseline in the neural responses accounted for the enhancement of apparent contrast with spatial attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motion-induced blindness and Troxler fading: common and different mechanisms
TL;DR: The results suggest that both MIB and Troxler are equally affected by contrast adaptation, but that the rate of MIB is governed by an additional mechanism, possibly involving antagonistic processes between neuronal populations processing target and mask.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential roles for frontal eye fields (FEFs) and intraparietal sulcus (IPS) in visual working memory and visual attention.
TL;DR: The results show that the patterns of activation in prefrontal and parietal cortex were different from one another but were similar for the two tasks, and imply differential roles for the FEF and IPS in visual short-term memory and visual attention.
