Beyond Skip Connections: Top-Down Modulation for Object Detection (2016, background): “There is strong evidence of such top-down context, feedback and lateral processing in the human visual pathway [7, 13, 15, 25, 28, 30, 31, 37, 53, 54]; wherein, the topdown signals are responsible for modulating low-level features [13, 15, 37, 53, 54] as well as act as attentional mechanism for sele”
Mechanisms of selective inhibition in visual spatial attention are indexed by α‐band EEG synchronization (2007, methodology): “…termed shifts in visual baseline activity, because they were observed in attention-orienting paradigms before onset of the visual stimulus, as shown by single-unit recordings and fMRI (Luck et al., 1997; Kastner et al., 1999; Hopfinger et al., 2000; Serences et al., 2004; Giesbrecht et al., 2006).”

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”
Electrical Neuroimaging Reveals Timing of Attentional Control Activity in Human Brain (2008, background): “control activity from subsequent attention effects on the neural responses to visual stimuli [11].”
Visual attention: The past 25 years (2011, background): “in attentional control (e.g., Green & Mcdonald, 2008; Hopfinger et al., 2000; Lauritzen, D’Esposito, Heeger, & Silver, 2009), it is pos-”
A shift of visual spatial attention is selectively associated with human EEG alpha activity (2005, background): “It was also demonstrated in an event-related fMRI study that extrastriate regions activated after an attentional shift overlapped with areas responding to a subsequent target (Hopfinger et al., 2000).”
Computational modelling of visual attention (2001, background): “Much less is known about the neural instantiation of the top-down,volitional component of attention 16,17 .”
