Context is widely regarded as a major determinant of learning and memory across
numerous domains, including classical and instrumental conditioning, episodic memory …

Abstract Models of gaze allocation in complex scenes are derived mainly from studies of
static picture viewing. The dominant framework to emerge has been image salience, where …

We suggested recently that attention can be understood as inferring the level of uncertainty
or precision during hierarchical perception. In this paper, we try to substantiate this claim …

To use sensory information efficiently to make judgments and guide action in the world, the
brain must represent and use information about uncertainty in its computations for …

We use our sense of time to identify temporal relationships between events and to anticipate
actions. The degree to which we can exploit temporal contingencies depends on the …

To perceive the external environment our brain uses multiple sources of sensory information
derived from several different modalities, including vision, touch and audition. All these …

The classic experiments of Yarbus over 50 years ago revealed that saccadic eye
movements reflect cognitive processes. But it is only recently that three separate advances …

Action selection is a fundamental decision process for us, and depends on the state of both
our body and the environment. Because signals in our sensory and motor systems are …

Color is a ubiquitous perceptual stimulus, yet relatively little empirical and even less
theoretical work exists on color and psychological functioning. The research that has been …

In many learning or inference tasks human behavior approximates that of a Bayesian ideal
observer, suggesting that, at some level, cognition can be described as Bayesian inference …
