Intrathalamic mechanisms of visual attention.
The classical model of visual processing emphasizes the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) as the major intermediary between the retina and visual cortex. Yet, anatomical findings inspired Francis Crick to suggest an alternative model in which the thalamic reticular nucleus, which envelops the LGN, acts as the "guardian" of visual cortex by modulating LGN activity. Recent work by McAlonan and col...
متن کاملAn Introduction to “Mechanisms of Visual Attention: ACognitiveNeuroscience Perspective”
Thereis agrowing consensus thatthecomputationof the“internal visual world” does not occur in a purely automatic and obligatory way. Humans process part of the available visual information with priority dependent either on the current task (intention) or the structure of the stimulation. This assignment of priority in visual processing is usually termed “visual attention”. Most of what we curren...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of selective visual attention.
Selective visual attention describes the tendency of visual processing to be confined largely to stimuli that are relevant to behavior. It is among the most fundamental of cognitive functions, particularly in humans and other primates for whom vision is the dominant sense. We review recent progress in identifying the neural mechanisms of selective visual attention. We discuss evidence from stud...
متن کاملHumanoid Early Visual Processing Using Attention Mechanisms
The basic, biologically inspired idea of the authors (and some more in the scientific community) is to apply an attention-based type of filter on the great amount of visual input data and only perform further analysis on the tiny rest. This residual is what we call the regions of interest (ROIs). There have been many approaches to computation of salient features in a static image, e.g. [1] show...
متن کاملNeural mechanisms of visual selective attention.
Visual selective attention improves our perception and performance by modifying sensory inputs at an early stage of processing. Spatial attention produces the most consistent early modulations of visual processing, which can be observed when attention is voluntarily allocated to locations. These effects of spatial attention are similar when attention is cued in a trial-by-trial, or sustained, f...
