Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial covert attention increases contrast sensitivity across the CSF: support for signal enhancement☆
TL;DR: The benefits of spatial covert attention on contrast sensitivity in a wide range of spatial frequencies when a target alone was presented in the absence of a local post-mask support the signal enhancement model of attention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual search: a retrospective.
TL;DR: In this article, a review article draws on efforts from various subfields and discusses the mechanisms and strategies the brain uses to optimize visual search: the psychophysical evidence, their neural correlates, and if unknown, possible loci of the neural computations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A signal detection model predicts the effects of set size on visual search accuracy for feature, conjunction, triple conjunction, and disjunction displays.
TL;DR: The model accurately predicts human experimental data on visual search accuracy in conjunctions and disjunctions of contrast and orientation and accounts for performance degradation without resorting to a limited-capacity spatially localized and temporally serial mechanism by which to bind information across feature dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Looking just below the eyes is optimal across face recognition tasks
TL;DR: It is proposed that gaze behavior while determining a person’s identity, emotional state, or gender can be explained as an adaptive brain strategy to learn eye movements that optimize performance in these evolutionarily important perceptual tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Lower Visual Search Efficiency for Conjunctions Is Due to Noise and not Serial Attentional Processing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a study of visual search accuracy that carefully controlled for low-level effects: physical similarity of target and distractor, element eccentricity, and eye movements.
