Push-pull competition between bottom-up and top-down auditory attention to natural soundscapes

Visual Attention: Bottom-Up Versus Top-Down

Visual attention is attracted by salient stimuli that 'pop out' from their surroundings. Attention can also be voluntarily directed to objects of current importance to the observer. What happens in the brain when these two processes interact?

The effect of bottom-up and top-down auditory program training on the development of children's auditory processing skills

Although there have been several previous investigations on the role of auditory training for the development of auditory processing skills, it still remains unknown whether children with auditory processing difficulties can get improved auditory skills after exposure to a multi-modal training experience comprising both visual and tactile stimuli. The present study, therefore, attempted to use ...

Bottom-up, top-down

Relative Influence of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Attention

Attention and memory are very closely related and their aim is to simplify the acquired data into an intelligent structured data set. Two main points are discussed in this paper. The first one is the presentation of a novel visual attention model for still images which includes both a bottom-up and a top-down approach. The bottom-up model is based on structures rarity within the image during th...
