Neural activity in the lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) correlates with both sensory evaluation
and motor planning underlying visuomotor decisions. We previously showed that LIP plays a …

Perceptual difficulty is sometimes used to manipulate selective attention. However, these
two factors are logically distinct. Selective attention is defined by priority given to specific …

Previous studies have shown that short-term monocular pattern deprivation can shift
perceptual dominance in favor of the deprived eye. However, little is known about the effect …

The cueing task is one of the most prominent paradigms to study covert attention. Observers
are quicker and more accurate in detecting a target when it appears with a cue (valid trials) …

Visuospatial attention is not a monolithic process and can be divided into different functional
systems. In this framework, exogenous attention reflects the involuntary orienting of attention …

The external noise paradigm and perceptual template model (PTM) have successfully been
applied to characterize observer properties and mechanisms of observer state changes (eg …

Virtual reality (VR) has established itself as a useful tool in the study of human perception in
the laboratory. A recent study introduced a new approach to examine visual sensory …

The rhythmic sampling theory of attention, stating that attention periodically samples
information at low frequencies (< 20Hz), has become an important topic of research–, with a …

The visual system is a complex network of structures that work together to process and make
sense of visual information derived from the surrounding environment. This dissertation …

An accelerator system is implemented on an expansion card comprising a printed circuit
board having (a) one or more graphics processing units (GPUs),(b) two or more associated …
