Attentionsolves the problem of informationover-load in cognitive processing systems by
selecting some information forfurtherprocessing, or by managing resources applied te …

Attention is often regarded as a mechanism by which attended objects become perceptually
more salient, akin to increasing their contrast. We demonstrate that attention is better …

Evidence exists that both right and left hemisphere attentional mechanisms are mobilized
when attention is directed to the right visual hemifield and only right hemisphere attentional …

Attention modulates the amount of excitatory and inhibitory lateral interactions in the visual
cortex. A recurrent neural network is proposed to account for modulatory influence of top …

La lettura è un processo cognitivo complesso che per svilupparsi in modo adeguato
necessita sia di buone abilità uditive-fonologiche sia di adeguate abilità visuo-percettive che …

Figure 1 This study used a stimulus set consisting of four maximum contrast gabor patches,
oriented at four different angles. They were oriented at 1º to the left or right of the vertical …

Attention can selectively enhance neuronal responses and exclude external noise. To
investigate these effects and their neuronal mechanisms we investigated spatial integration …

The present thesis is concerned with the role of spatial attention in visual word processing.
Eleven experiments are reported each of which consists of the combination of a …

Since the 1980s, many models (eg Linear Amplifier Model and the Perceptual Template
Model) using external noise have been used extensively to evaluate observers' internal …

The goal of the current studies was to examine the influence of top-down mechanisms on
the crowding effect. Crowding refers to the reduced ability to identify an object, typically a …
