Perception, Action, and Utility: The Tangled Skein (2012, background): “Although there are a number of neural players involved in valuation, the most detailed work concerns the putative involvement of the midbrain dopamine system and its targets in learning the utilities that follow different states and actions.”
Neural Correlates of the Automatic Processing of Threat Facial Signals (2003, background): “Severe attentional depletion may then result in modulations very early in processing, before cortical processing (O’Connor et al., 2002) such as in the thalamic relays to the amygdala, functionally cutting off the sensory inputs of the amygdala.”
Modeling attention to salient proto-objects (2006, neutral): “But interactions could reach much further and incorporate the learning of optimal search strategies for particular objects or object categories based on particular features ( Navalpakkam & Itti, 2005 ) or spatial priors (Torralba, 2003).”
The Neural Selection and Integration of Actions and Objects: An fMRI Study (2012, background): “Prior work has indicated that the thalamus is sensitive to attention manipulation of specific features of a stimulus, such as the sensitivity of the pulvinar to stimulus location (Snow, Allen, Rafal, & Humphreys, 2009 ; O'Conner, Fukui, Pinsk, & Kastner, 2002 ; LaBerge & Buchsbaum, 1990 ).”
Attention, Uncertainty, and Free-Energy (2010, background): “Indeed, in fMRI studies, responses are increased in visual areas after attentional cuing but before stimulus onset (Chawla et al., 1999b; Kastner et al., 1999; O’Connor et al., 2002; Stokes et al., 2009).”
