Visual Attention: A Cell that Focuses on One Object at a Time

Visual Attention: A Cell that Focuses on One Object at a Time

A new study has identified a remarkable neuron in the dragonfly brain that chooses and faithfully follows one and only one prey-like visual target, completely ignoring another, thereby demonstrating a form of competitive selection required for visual attention.

Attention focuses on autism.

the effects of multiple intelligences (focus on musical, visual, and linguistic) and direct instruction on learning grammar: a case on iranian efl students at elementary level

1.0 overview it seems that grammar plays a crucial role in the area of second and foreign language learning and widely has been acknowledged in grammar research. in other words, teaching grammar is an issue which has attracted much attention to itself, and a lot of teachers argue about the existence of grammar in language teaching and learning. this issue will remind us a famous sentence f...

A Proto-object Based Visual Attention Model

One of the first steps of any visual system is that of locating suitable interest points, ‘salient regions’, in the scene, to detect events, and eventually to direct gaze toward these locations. In the last few years, object-based visual attention models have received an increasing interest in computational neuroscience and in computer vision, the problem, in this case, being that of creating a...

Selective Visual Attention for Object Detection on a Legged Robot

Autonomous robots can use a variety of sensors, such as sonar, laser range finders, and bump sensors, to sense their environments. Visual information from an onboard camera can provide particularly rich sensor data. However, processing all the pixels in every image, even with simple operations, can be computationally taxing for robots equipped with cameras of reasonable resolution and frame rat...
