Attention alters appearance
information than it can process effectively. The high energy cost of neuronal activity involved in cortical computation severely limits our capacity to process this information1. Visual attention serves as a mediating mechanism, enabling us to selectively grant priority of processing to certain aspects of the visual scene. One means of granting priority is to direct one’s gaze towards the relev...
متن کاملShifts of Covert Visual Attention:
Shifts of covert attention differ depending on whether the shift is exogenously or endogenously motivated. The present study examined whether crossing imaginary meridia in the visual field influences shifts directed by central or peripheral cues. A two-alternative forced-choice discrimination task was employed under direction from 70 % valid central and peripheral cues. In comparison to central...
متن کاملAttention alters the appearance of motion coherence.
Selective attention enhances visual information processing, as measured by behavioral performance and neural activity. However, little is known about its effects on subjective experience. Here, we investigated the effect of transient (exogenous) attention on the appearance of visual motion, using a psychophysical procedure that directly measures appearance and controls for response bias. Observ...
متن کاملSuperior colliculus inactivation alters the relationship between covert visual attention and microsaccades.
Microsaccades are tiny saccades that occur during gaze fixation. Whereas these movements have traditionally been viewed as random, it was recently discovered that microsaccade directions can be significantly biased by covertly attended visual stimuli. The detailed mechanisms mediating such a bias are neither known nor immediately obvious, especially because the amplitudes of the movements influ...
متن کاملCross-modal cueing of attention alters appearance and early cortical processing of visual stimuli.
The question of whether attention makes sensory impressions appear more intense has been a matter of debate for over a century. Recent psychophysical studies have reported that attention increases apparent contrast of visual stimuli, but the issue continues to be debated. We obtained converging neurophysiological evidence from human observers as they judged the relative contrast of visual stimu...
