Spatial attention and visual temporal processes

Exploring Visual Attention in Musicians: Temporal, Spatial and Capacity Considerations

Considerable evidence converges on how attention can be modulated through training (e.g., video game playing). While previous research suggests that musical training can modulate early perceptual and attentional processes, no single investigation to date has been conducted on the same participants to measure specific mechanisms of attention (temporal, spatial, and capacity) in musicians. In Exp...

Models of Spatial, Temporal, and Feature Visual Attention

Some representative experiments that span over fifty years of research on visual selective attention are reviewed here. They parametrically describe spatial attention to locations in space, temporal attention to intervals in time, and feature attention to particular visual features. The resulting data are accurately described by a class of lean computation models (i.e., few estimated parameters...

Dissecting Spatial Visual Attention

it has been recognized that at least two forms of spatial attention can be found in vision. For example, Wundt (1902) observed that attention could be involuntary or voluntary. A variety of distinctions have been made that more or less correspond to Wundt’s distinction, including goal-directed attention versus stimulus-driven capture and endogenous attention versus exogenous attention. the term...

The locus of spatial attention during the temporal integration of visual memories and visual percepts.

Temporal integration is a process by which two serially presented visual stimuli are mentally integrated to form a composite representation. In the present research, we explored how spatial selective attention is used during the delay separating stimuli, in order to determine the contents of spatial working memory in this task. A two-task situation was created. On the primary task, two dot arra...
