Precise attention filters for Weber contrast derived from centroid estimations.
How well can observers selectively attend only to dots that are lighter or darker than the background when all dot intensities are present? Observers estimated centroids of briefly flashed, sparse clouds of 8 or 16 dots, ranging in intensity from dark black to bright white on a gray background. Attention instructions were to equally weight: (i) dots brighter than the background, assigning zero ...
متن کاملThe centroid paradigm: Quantifying feature-based attention in terms of attention filters.
This paper elaborates a recent conceptualization of feature-based attention in terms of attention filters (Drew et al., Journal of Vision, 10(10:20), 1-16, 2010) into a general purpose centroid-estimation paradigm for studying feature-based attention.

متن کاملQuantifying Collective Attention from Tweet Stream
Online social media are increasingly facilitating our social interactions, thereby making available a massive "digital fossil" of human behavior. Discovering and quantifying distinct patterns using these data is important for studying social behavior, although the rapid time-variant nature and large volumes of these data make this task difficult and challenging. In this study, we focused on the...
