When size matters: attention affects performance by contrast or response gain

K Herrmann, L Montaser-Kouhsari, M Carrasco… - Nature …, 2010 - nature.com
Covert attention, the selective processing of visual information in the absence of eye
movements, improves behavioral performance. We found that attention, both exogenous …

Interactions of top-down and bottom-up mechanisms in human visual cortex

S McMains, S Kastner - Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Multiple stimuli present in the visual field at the same time compete for neural representation
by mutually suppressing their evoked activity throughout visual cortex, providing a neural …
