The executive attention theory of working memory capacity (WMC) proposes that measures
of WMC broadly predict higher order cognitive abilities because they tap important and …

Do you wonder how movies–sequences of static frames–appear to move, or why 3-D films
look different from traditional movies? Why does ventriloquism work, and why can airliner …

Visual attention improves perception for an attended location or feature and also modulates
the responses of sensory neurons. In laboratory studies, the sensory stimuli and task …

Channel-based models of human spatial vision require that the output of spatial filters be
pooled across space. This pooling yields global estimates of local feature attributes such as …

Perception and action are tightly coupled: visual responses at the saccade target are
enhanced right before saccade onset. This phenomenon, presaccadic attention, is a form of …

The term attentionhas been used in the title or abstract of over 40,000 journal articles, books,
and book chapters over the past 30 years. This greatly exceeds the 8,300 works that have …

How does attention optimize our visual system for the task at hand? Two mechanisms have
been proposed for how attention improves signal processing: gain and tuning. To …

A comprehensive systems overview of sensory and reward processing in the brain, this book
explores what reward processing can teach us about the senses and what sensory …

When a visual stimulus suddenly appears, it captures attention, producing a transient
improvement of performance on basic visual tasks. We investigate the effect of transient …

We investigated whether spatial resolution would be the same in the lower and upper halves
of the vertical meridian (VM) of our visual field and whether attention would affect them …
