A model for attentional information routing through coherence predicts biased competition and multistable perception.
Selective attention allows to focus on relevant information and to ignore distracting features of a visual scene. These principles of information processing are reflected in response properties of neurons in visual area V4: if a neuron is presented with two stimuli in its receptive field, and one is attended, it responds as if the nonattended stimulus was absent (biased competition). In additio...
متن کاملA Customized Bi-Objective Location-Routing Problem for Locating Post Offices and Delivery of Post Parcels
One of the most important problems for distribution companies is to find the best locations for depots and to find proper routes for transportation vehicles and to optimize supply network. This study intends to develop a model for the problem of location-routing in post offices. So, a new Bi-Objective Location-Routing Problem for Locating Town Post Office and Routing Parcels is defined. This pr...
متن کاملCan attention selectively bias bistable perception? Differences between binocular rivalry and ambiguous figures.
It is debated whether different forms of bistable perception result from common or separate neural mechanisms. Binocular rivalry involves perceptual alternations between competing monocular images, whereas ambiguous figures such as the Necker cube lead to alternations between two possible pictorial interpretations. Previous studies have shown that observers can voluntarily control the alternati...
متن کاملUnderstanding Attentional Modulation of Binocular Rivalry: A Framework Based on Biased Competition
Starting from early scientific explorations of binocular rivalry, researchers have wondered about the degree to which an observer can exert voluntary attentional control over rivalry dynamics. The answer to this question would not only reveal the extent to which we may determine our own conscious visual experience, but also advance our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying binocular...
متن کاملDoes neurocognitive function affect cognitive bias toward an emotional stimulus? Association between general attentional ability and attentional bias toward threat
BACKGROUND Although poorer cognitive performance has been found to be associated with anxiety, it remains unclear whether neurocognitive function affects biased cognitive processing toward emotional information. We investigated whether general cognitive function evaluated with a standard neuropsychological test predicts biased cognition, focusing on attentional bias toward threat. METHODS One...
