In two experiments, we examined the influence of visual working memory (VWM) on oculomotor selection, testing whether the landing positions of rapidly generated saccades are biased toward the region of an object that matches a feature held in VWM. Participants executed a saccade to the center of a single saccade target, divided into two colored regions and presented on the horizontal midline. C...

A probabilistic definition of saliency is given in a form suitable for applications to image matching. In order to make this definition, the values of the pixels in pairs of matching regions are modeled using an elliptically symmetric distribution (ESD). The values of the pixels in background pairs of regions are also modeled using an ESD. If a region is given in one image, then the conditional...
