Transient covert attention increases contrast sensitivity at the target location with an
informative spatial cue. Here we explored whether an uninformative spatial cue (50% valid …

Human operators develop expertise in perceptual tasks by practice or perceptual learning.
For noisy displays, practice improves performance by learned external-noise filtering. For …

We are quite often exposed to multiple objects present in the visual scene, thus attentional
selection is necessary in order to selectively respond to the relevant information. Objects can …

It is well known that attention improves the visibility of a target. In this study, we examined the
effect of attention on the selectivity profile for a target. We used a masking technique to …

Whether selective attention binds features in visual short-term memory or prioritizes
selection for memory consolidation and decision was investigated with a change detection …

Abstract Models of attentional control usually describe online shifts in control settings that
accommodate changing task demands. The current studies suggest that online control over …

Three aspects of visual object location were investigated:(1) how the visual system
integrates information for locating objects,(2) how attention operates to affect location …

Publisher Summary Intuitively, vision appears to be an easy process—effortless, almost
automatic, and so efficient that a simple glance at a complex scene is sufficient to produce …

Converging evidence for the neurochemical modulation of attentional systems in animals is
outlined, with the focus primarily on rat neurochemistry and behavioral pharmacology. Data …

The effect of attention on the detection and identification of vertically and horizontally
oriented Gabor patterns in the condition of simultaneous masking with obliquely oriented …
