Abstract This paper first demonstrates that recognition of the diversity ways emotional responses modulate ongoing attention generates what I call puzzle , which turns on fact distinct emotions (e.g., fear, happiness, disgust, admiration etc.) have different attentional profiles. The concerns why this is case, such a solution consists in explaining profiles they do. It then provides an account ...

Attention computes the dependency between representations, and it encourages model to focus on important selective features. Attention-based models, such as Transformer graph attention network (GAT), are widely utilized for sequential data graph-structured data. This paper suggests a new interpretation generalized structure of in GAT. For GAT, we derive that is product two parts: 1) RBF kernel ...

Attention selects behaviorally relevant stimuli for greater neural representation. In this issue of Neuron, Luo and Maunsell (2015) show that attention acts, in part, by boosting the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of sensory neurons.

The ability to attend and to exercise cognitive control are vital aspects of human adaptability. Several studies indicate that attention training using computer based exercises can lead to improved attention in children and adults. Randomized control studies of exposure to nature, mindfulness and integrative body-mind training (IBMT) yield improved attention and self-regulation. Here, we ask ho...

Robots that navigate through human crowds need to be able to plan safe, efficient, and human predictable trajectories. This is a particularly challenging problem as it requires the robot to predict future human trajectories within a crowd where everyone implicitly cooperates with each other to avoid collisions. Previous approaches to human trajectory prediction have modeled the interactions bet...

As in advertising, online information works best if the users instantly realize the message conveyed. There is no easy to use and valid method for measuring what the viewers actually perceive and which elements are eye-catching. The eye tracking method can measure the physiological movement of the viewers’ eyes but not what information the viewers process, store and recollect consciously. A new...
