Suppression of visual responses of neurons in inferior temporal cortex of the awake macaque by addition of a second stimulus.
TLDR
Most neurons in inferior temporal cortex of the awake macaque were weaker to pairs of stimuli than to the best single stimulus of that pair presented alone, which suggests competitive interactions between IT neurons that may be involved in visual attention or learning or both.About:

Visual attention: The past 25 years
TL;DR: The emphasis of this review is on psychophysical studies, but relevant electrophysiological and neuroimaging studies and models regarding how and where neuronal responses are modulated are also discussed.

Increased Activity in Human Visual Cortex during Directed Attention in the Absence of Visual Stimulation
TL;DR: The increased activity in visual cortex in the absence of visual stimulation may reflect a top-down bias of neural signals in favor of the attended location, which derives from a fronto-parietal network.

Neural mechanisms of spatial selective attention in areas V1, V2, and V4 of macaque visual cortex
TL;DR: The role of attention was examined in areas V1, V2, and V4 of macaque monkeys with the use of a behavioral paradigm in which attention was directed to one of two stimulus locations and it was found that the cell's response was strongly influenced by which of the two stimuli was attended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Competitive Mechanisms Subserve Attention in Macaque Areas V2 and V4
TL;DR: A quantitative neural model of attention is proposed to account for these findings, which are consistent with the idea that attention biases competitive interactions among neurons, causing them to respond primarily to the attended stimulus.

A massively parallel architecture for a self-organizing neural pattern recognition machine
TL;DR: A neural network architecture for the learning of recognition categories is derived which circumvents the noise, saturation, capacity, orthogonality, and linear predictability constraints that limit the codes which can be stably learned by alternative recognition models.
A method of measuring eye movements using a scleral search coil in a magnetic field
TL;DR: With the subject exposed to an alternating magnetic field, eye position may be accurately recorded from the voltage generated in a coil of wire embedded in a scleral contact lens worn by the subject.

A Method of Measuring Eye Movemnent Using a Scieral Search Coil in a Magnetic Field
TL;DR: In this article, the voltage generated in a coil of wire embedded in a scleral contact lens worn by the subject was measured using two magnetic fields in quadrature phase and two coils on the lens, one may measure horizontal, vertical and torsional eye movements simultaneously.
