A model of saliency-based visual attention for rapid scene analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a visual attention system inspired by the behavior and the neuronal architecture of the early primate visual system is presented, where multiscale image features are combined into a single topographical saliency map.

Dynamical Systems in Neuroscience

TL;DR: This book explains the relationship of electrophysiology, nonlinear dynamics, and the computational properties of neurons, with each concept presented in terms of both neuroscience and mathematics and illustrated using geometrical intuition, providing a link between the two disciplines.

A saliency-based search mechanism for overt and covert shifts of visual attention.

TL;DR: A detailed computer implementation of a saliency map scheme is described, focusing on the problem of combining information across modalities, here orientation, intensity and color information, in a purely stimulus-driven manner, which is applied to common psychophysical stimuli as well as to a very demanding visual search task.

Representational Similarity Analysis – Connecting the Branches of Systems Neuroscience

TL;DR: A new experimental and data-analytical framework called representational similarity analysis (RSA) is proposed, in which multi-channel measures of neural activity are quantitatively related to each other and to computational theory and behavior by comparing RDMs.
