Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain (2002, background): “Recent reviews have discussed how attentional sets modulate the neural response to a targe”
The impact of visual factors on noise annoyance among people living in the vicinity of wind turbines (2008, background): “It is well known that disparities in lines and shapes in the environment draw attention as the human visual processing system is specialized to detect contrasts (Kastner & Ungerleider, 2000).”
Object-based visual attention for computer vision (2003, background): “The effect of a competition between two competitors may either enhance or suppress their salience according to their contrast properties (Fig.”
State-of-the-Art in Visual Attention Modeling (2013, background): “Neurophysiologists have shown how neurons accommodate themselves to better represent objects of interest [27], [28].”
Separate conflict-specific cognitive control mechanisms in the human brain (2007, background): “…resolution is to bias stimulus processing in sensory pathways, where cortical representations of task-relevant stimulus features (e.g., ink color) may be amplified relative to task-irrelevant ones (e.g., word meaning) (Cohen et al., 1990; Desimone and Duncan, 1995; Kastner and Ungerleider, 2000).”
Increased Brain Activity in Frontal and Parietal Cortex Underlies the Development of Visuospatial Working Memory Capacity during Childhood (2002, background): “Top - down attention and WM could thus be overlapping concepts , with overlaps in the underlying brain activity , as have also been suggested previously ( Kastner & Ungerleider , 2000 ; Desimone & Duncan , 1995 ) .”
The Normalization Model of Attention (2009, background): “…to map the network of brain areas that mediate the allocation of attention (Corbetta and Shulman, 2002; Yantis and Serences, 2003) and to examine how attention modulates neuronal activity in visual cortex (Desimone and Duncan, 1995; Kastner and Ungerleider, 2000; Reynolds and Chelazzi, 2004).”
Cerebral correlates of alerting, orienting and reorienting of visuospatial attention: an event-related fMRI study (2004, background): “There is abundant evidence, both in animals and humans, that directing attention to a specific location in space enhances responses in visual cortex to stimuli presented at that location (see, e.g. Kastner and Ungerleider, 2000, for a review).”
How brains beware: neural mechanisms of emotional attention. (2005, background): “attended) information, at the expense of competing and irrelevant (i.e. unattended) stimuli [1, 3 ].”
A mechanistic cortical microcircuit of attention for amplification, normalization and suppression. (2015, methodology): “This assumption is consistent with the attentional control of the visual cortex as reviewed by Kastner and Ungerleider (2000) for feature-based and by Miller and Buschman (2013) for spatial and feature-based attention.”
Emotion and attention: event-related brain potential studies. (2006, result): “These data are consistent with the notion that successively presented pictures are characterized by a distinct neural representation, which may compete for a limited pool of processing resources (Kastner and Ungerleider, 2000; Keysers and Perrett, 2002; Potter et al., 2002).”
Video Games and Spatial Cognition (2010, background): “However, the activity of neurons in early sensory cortex can be boosted substantially for a task-relevant stimulus (Kastner & Ungerleider, 2000).”
Fate of unattended fearful faces in the amygdala is determined by both attentional resources and cognitive modulation (2005, neutral): “The parieto-frontal regions largely overlapped with a set of regions recruited during attention tasks (Kastner and Ungerleider, 2000; Corbetta and Shulman, 2002; Pessoa et al., 2003), consistent with the fact that the bar-orientation task was, in general, more difficult than the sex task.”
A neural basis for real-world visual search in human occipitotemporal cortex (2011, background): “What constitutes the source of the preparatory activity patterns that we observed in visual cortex? Spatial attention studies have consistently implicated a fronto-parietal network as the source of spatial attention biases in visual cortex (24).”
Predicting human gaze beyond pixels. (2014, background): “Understanding and simulating this mechanism has both scientific and economic impact (Koch & Ullman, 1985; Ungerleider, 2000; Treue, 2001).”
Diffusion tensor imaging of adult age differences in cerebral white matter: relation to response time (2004, background): “For younger adults, in contrast, performance depends more directly on the white matter integrity of posterior regions mediating visual processing, although there is an additional influence of prefrontal activation, perhaps as the result of top-down attentional control (Hopfinger et al., 2000; Kastne”
