The Primary Visual Cortex Is Differentially Modulated by Stimulus-Driven and Top-Down Attention
Selective attention can be focused either volitionally, by top-down signals derived from task demands, or automatically, by bottom-up signals from salient stimuli. Because the brain mechanisms that underlie these two attention processes are poorly understood, we recorded local field potentials (LFPs) from primary visual cortical areas of cats as they performed stimulus-driven and anticipatory d...
متن کاملInteraction between stimulus-driven orienting and top-down modulation in attentional capture.
The issue whether attentional capture is determined by top-down factors or can be stimulus-driven remains unsolved. To examine this, we used a spatial cueing paradigm with set size four and eight in which a color target is preceded by an uninformative cue (color or onset) that either matches or does not match the target-defining feature. The critical manipulation lies in adding no-cue trials to...
متن کاملNeural integration of top-down spatial and feature-based information in visual search.
Visual search is aided by previous knowledge regarding distinguishing features and probable locations of a sought-after target. However, how the human brain represents and integrates concurrent feature-based and spatial expectancies to guide visual search is currently not well understood. Specifically, it is not clear whether spatial and feature-based search information is initially represented...
متن کاملFunctional interactions between prefrontal and visual association cortex contribute to top-down modulation of visual processing.
Attention-dependent modulation of neural activity in visual association cortex (VAC) is thought to depend on top-down modulatory control signals emanating from the prefrontal cortex (PFC). In a previous functional magnetic resonance imaging study utilizing a working memory task, we demonstrated that activity levels in scene-selective VAC (ssVAC) regions can be enhanced above or suppressed below...
متن کاملFeature Selection in Top-Down Visual Attention Model using WEKA
A feature selection in Top down visual attention model for sign board recognition has been incorporated to reduce the computational complexity and to enhance the quality of recognition. The approach is based on a biologically motivated attention system which is able to detect regions of interest in images based on the concepts of the human visual system. A top-down guided visual search module o...
