TLDR
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.

Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science

TL;DR: This target article critically examines this "hierarchical prediction machine" approach, concluding that it offers the best clue yet to the shape of a unified science of mind and action.

State-of-the-Art in Visual Attention Modeling

TL;DR: A taxonomy of nearly 65 models of attention provides a critical comparison of approaches, their capabilities, and shortcomings, and addresses several challenging issues with models, including biological plausibility of the computations, correlation with eye movement datasets, bottom-up and top-down dissociation, and constructing meaningful performance measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attention and choice: a review on eye movements in decision making.

TL;DR: This paper reviews studies on eye movements in decision making, and compares their observations to theoretical predictions concerning the role of attention, finding that more accurate assumptions could have been made based on prior attention and eye movement research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expectation in perceptual decision making: neural and computational mechanisms

TL;DR: This work considers the relationship between visual expectation and related concepts, such as attention and adaptation, and discusses how expectations may influence decision signals at the computational level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention

TL;DR: Evidence from studies of different varieties of selective attention is discussed and how these varieties alter the processing of stimuli by neurons within the visual system is examined, current knowledge of their causal basis, and methods for assessing attentional dysfunctions are examined.

The Principles of Psychology

William James
TL;DR: For instance, the authors discusses the multiplicity of the consciousness of self in the form of the stream of thought and the perception of space in the human brain, which is the basis for our work.
Journal ArticleDOI

A feature-integration theory of attention

TL;DR: A new hypothesis about the role of focused attention is proposed, which offers a new set of criteria for distinguishing separable from integral features and a new rationale for predicting which tasks will show attention limits and which will not.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain

TL;DR: Evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different attentional functions is reviewed, finding that one system is involved in preparing and applying goal-directed selection for stimuli and responses, and the other is specialized for the detection of behaviourally relevant stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orienting of attention

TL;DR: This paper explores one aspect of cognition through the use of a simple model task in which human subjects are asked to commit attention to a position in visual space other than fixation by orienting a covert mechanism that seems sufficiently time locked to external events that its trajectory can be traced across the visual field in terms of momentary changes in the efficiency of detecting stimuli.

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention

TL;DR: The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a simple example and selectivity-the ability to filter out un­ wanted information is illustrated.
