When target-defining features are specified in advance, attentional target selection in visual
search is controlled by preparatory top-down task sets. We used ERP measures to study …

To find out whether attentional target selection can be effectively guided by top-down task
sets for multiple colors, we measured behavioral and ERP markers of attentional target …

Abstract Representations of target-defining features (attentional templates) control the
allocation of attention during visual search. We investigated whether template-guided …

The human visual system can only process a fraction of the information present in a typical
visual scene, and selection is historically framed as the outcome of bottom–up and top …

Theories of attention and visual search explain how attention is guided toward objects with
known target features. But can attention be directed away from objects with a feature known …

The question whether target selection in visual search can be effectively controlled by
simultaneous attentional templates for multiple features is still under dispute. We …

To investigate how target detection in visual search is modulated when a subset of
distractors is presented in advance (preview search), we measured search performance and …

Abstract Representations of known target features (attentional templates) guide attention
toward target objects during visual search. Recent research has shown that templates for …

To investigate how attentional capture in visual search is affected by generalized top-down
search strategies, ERPs and behavioral performance were measured in two experiments …

We used ERPs to investigate whether temporal attention interacts with spatial attention and
feature‐based attention to enhance visual processing. We presented a visual search display …
