Pupils respond to three distinct kinds of stimuli: they constrict in response to brightness (the
pupil light response), constrict in response to near fixation (the pupil near response), and …

Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

For over 25 years, researchers have debated whether physically salient stimuli capture
attention in an automatic manner, independent of the observer's goals, or whether the …

Recently it was argued that in addition to top-down and bottom-up processes, lingering
biases of selection history play a major role in visual selection (Awh, Belopolsky & …

Highlights•Lingering biases of previous selection episodes play a major role in attentional
selection.•Statistical learning of the environmental regularities biases attentional …

The present paper argues for the notion that when attention is spread across the visual field
in the first sweep of information through the brain visual selection is completely stimulus …

For more than 2 decades, researchers have debated the nature of cognitive control in the
guidance of visual attention. Stimulus-driven theories claim that salient stimuli automatically …

Recent studies of eye movements in reading and other information processing tasks, such
as music reading, typing, visual search, and scene perception, are reviewed. The major …

Speed-accuracy trade-off is an intensively studied law governing almost all behavioral tasks
across species. Here we show that motivation by reward breaks this law, by simultaneously …

There has been a long-standing debate concerning whether we are able to resist attention
capture by salient distractors. The so-called “signal suppression hypothesis” of Gaspelin and …
