Object-based attention shifts are driven by target location, not object placement

Attention-Driven Parts-Based Object Detection

Recent studies have argued that natural vision systems perform classification by utilizing different mechanisms depending on the visual input. In this paper we present a hybrid, data-driven object detection system that combines parts-based matching and view-based attention for faster detection. We propose a simple competitive policy that allows incremental addition of new object classes to the ...

Further evidence that object-based correspondence effects are primarily modulated by object location not by grasping affordance

Modulation of spatial Stroop by object-based attention but not by space-based attention.

Earlier studies have shown that the spatial Stroop effect systematically decreases when a peripheral precue is presented at the same location as the target, compared to an uncued location condition. In this study, two experiments were conducted to explore whether the cueing modulation of spatial Stroop is object based and/or space based. In Experiment 1, we found evidence favouring the view tha...

Distinct mechanisms subserve location- and object-based visual attention

Visual attention can be allocated to either a location or an object, named location- or object-based attention, respectively. Despite the burgeoning evidence in support of the existence of two kinds of attention, little is known about their underlying mechanisms in terms of whether they are achieved by enhancing signal strength or excluding external noises. We adopted the noise-masking paradigm...
