Advances on several fronts have refined our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms of
attention. This review focuses on recent progress in understanding visual attention through …

Our visual system consciously processes only a subset of the incoming information.
Selective attention allows us to prioritize relevant inputs, and can be allocated to features …

Working memory (WM) enables the storage and manipulation of limited amounts of
information over short periods. Prominent models posit that increasing the number of …

Two factors play important roles in shaping perception: the allocation of selective attention to
behaviorally relevant sensory features, and prior expectations about regularities in the …

The visual system transforms complex inputs into robust and parsimonious neural codes that
efficiently guide behavior. Because neural communication is stochastic, the amount of …

Covert attention allows the selection of locations or features of the visual scene without
moving the eyes. Cues and contexts predictive of a target's location orient covert attention …

A prominent theoretical framework spanning philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience
holds that selective attention penetrates early stages of perceptual processing to alter the …

Computational models posit that visual attention is guided by activity within spatial maps that
index the image-computable salience and the behavioral relevance of objects in the scene …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) are two
noninvasive methods commonly used to study neural mechanisms supporting visual …

Brain-Computer interfaces (BCIs) play a significant role in easing neuromuscular patients on
controlling computers and prosthetics. Due to their high signal-to-noise ratio, steady-state …
