is considered a selective process, the constructs of covert attention, spatial endogenous and …

Selective visual attention describes the tendency of visual processing to be confined largely
to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive …

The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a
simple example. Consider the arrays shown in each panel of Figure 1. In a typical …

Multiple visual areas in the cortex of nonhuman primates are organized into two
hierarchically organized and functionally specialized processing pathways, a 'ventral …

A standard model of word reading postulates that visual information is initially processed by
occipitotemporal areas contralateral to the stimulated hemifield, from whence it is …

Perceptual representations depend on distributed neural codes for relaying the parts and
properties of objects. Some mechanism is needed to 'bind'the information relating to each …

Binocular rivalry—the alternations in perception that occur when different images are
presented to the two eyes—has been the subject of intensive investigation for more than 160 …

Brain regions in the mammalian cerebral cortex are linked by a complex network of fiber
bundles. These inter-regional networks have previously been analyzed in terms of their …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

Although most studies of visual attention have examined the effects of shifting attention
between different locations in the visual field, attention can also be directed to particular …
