Exploring how object-based attention interacts with uniform connectedness and self-splitting figures

Uniform connectedness and uniform local connectedness for lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces

We apply Preuss' concept of $mbbe$-connectedness to the categories of lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces and of lattice-valued uniform spaces. A space is uniformly $mbbe$-connected if the only uniformly continuous mappings from the space to a space in the class $mbbe$ are the constant mappings. We develop the basic theory for $mbbe$-connected sets, including the product theorem. Furtherm...

How Prevalent Is Object-Based Attention?

Previous research suggests that visual attention can be allocated to locations in space (space-based attention) and to objects (object-based attention). The cueing effects associated with space-based attention tend to be large and are found consistently across experiments. Object-based attention effects, however, are small and found less consistently across experiments. In three experiments we ...

Attention-based Object Detection

Object-based visual attention with endogenous orienting.

In a series of experiments, we examined covert orienting using endogenous cuing, in which attention is voluntarily directed toward a peripheral location. In one experiment, subjects were cued to attend to one end of an oblong object. They then detected targets on the cued object or elsewhere. In another experiment, subjects provided judgments of the relative temporal order of two flashes after ...

How does attention facilitate object recognition?

Object recognition generally implemented in a hierarchical bottom-up process leads to a strong overlapping of populations encoding features belonging to different objects. Although experiments indicate that some scenes allow the detection of categories during very brief presentations, ambiguities in cell populations encoding features within the same receptive field limits recognition in non-seg...
