Object continuity enhances selective auditory attention.
In complex scenes, the identity of an auditory object can build up across seconds. Given that attention operates on perceptual objects, this perceptual buildup may alter the efficacy of selective auditory attention over time. Here, we measured identification of a sequence of spoken target digits presented with distracter digits from other directions to investigate the dynamics of selective atte...
متن کاملObject-based auditory and visual attention.
Theories of visual attention argue that attention operates on perceptual objects, and thus that interactions between object formation and selective attention determine how competing sources interfere with perception. In auditory perception, theories of attention are less mature and no comprehensive framework exists to explain how attention influences perceptual abilities. However, the same prin...
متن کاملModelling Auditory Spatial Attention with Constraints
It is well-established that spatial attention can be allocated as a gradient that diminishes from a central focus. In this paper we consider auditory attention and we develop a model for how it is distributed in space following basic ideas of top-down and bottom-up attentional control from verbal models [6, 12]. There are three main components of our model: a goal map, a saliency map, and a pri...
متن کاملComputational modeling of auditory spatial attention
Attention plays a fundamental role in higher-level cognition. In this paper we develop a computational model for how auditory spatial attention is distributed in space. Our model builds on the assumption that attentional bias has bottom-up and top-down components. We represent each component and their synthesis as a map, associating a level of attentional bias to locations in space. The maps an...
متن کاملDissociable Influences of Auditory Object vs. Spatial Attention on Visual System Oscillatory Activity
Given that both auditory and visual systems have anatomically separate object identification ("what") and spatial ("where") pathways, it is of interest whether attention-driven cross-sensory modulations occur separately within these feature domains. Here, we investigated how auditory "what" vs. "where" attention tasks modulate activity in visual pathways using cortically constrained source esti...
