Attention is spontaneously biased toward regularities.
Knowledge about regularities in the environment can be used to facilitate perception, memory, and language acquisition. Given this usefulness, we hypothesized that statistically structured sources of information receive attentional priority over noisier sources, independent of their intrinsic salience or goal relevance. We report three experiments that support this hypothesis. Experiment 1 show...
متن کاملStatistical Regularities Attract Attention when Task-Relevant
Visual attention seems essential for learning the statistical regularities in our environment, a process known as statistical learning. However, how attention is allocated when exploring a novel visual scene whose statistical structure is unknown remains unclear. In order to address this question, we investigated visual attention allocation during a task in which we manipulated the conditional ...
متن کاملAttentional selection is biased toward mood-congruent stimuli.
One can exert significant volitional control over the attentional filter so that stimuli that are consistent with one's explicit goals are more likely to receive attention and become part of one's conscious experience. Here we pair a mood induction procedure with an inattentional blindness task to show that one's current mood has a similar influence on attention. A positive, negative, or neutra...
متن کاملIs the energy homeostasis system inherently biased toward weight gain?
We describe a model of energy homeostasis to better understand neuronal pathways that control energy balance and their regulation by hormonal signals such as insulin and leptin. Catabolic neuronal pathways are those that both reduce food intake and increase energy expenditure (e.g., melanocortin neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus) and are stimulated by input from insulin and leptin. We...

It is possible that many VNO neurons proteins during the process of neuronal targeting, yet expressing one receptor actually project to the same they construct very different maps in the target areas. mitral cell, so the pattern could be more organized and How are the maps generated? How are guidance cues convergent than it appears. By the same token, it could distributed i...
