Implementing neural changes associated with attention in a deep neural network causes performance changes that mimic those observed in humans and macaques.
Primate attention is not limited to a dorsal fronto-parietal network, but includes a ventral temporal node and its dorso-ventral interactions with other attentional areas.
To see the world stable across saccades, the brain compensates retinal shifts induced by the movements, pre-saccadic maps of sensitivity reveal that this process takes time and follows attentional dynamics.
The different laminar profiles observed across the cortical depth for multisensory and attentional influences indicate partly distinct neural circuitries of information-flow control.
A combined behavioural and electroencephalographic approach investigating the covert allocation of attention shows evidence for distributed periodic sampling away from a conscious visual image.
The pattern of spatial attention preferences in caudate neurons is altered by superior colliculus inactivation, demonstrating that a superior colliculus to basal ganglia link is important for selective attention.
