Attention has been found to have a wide variety of effects on the responses of neurons in
visual cortex. We describe a model of attention that exhibits each of these different forms of …

▪ Abstract Single-unit recording studies in the macaque have carefully documented the
modulatory effects of attention on the response properties of visual cortical neurons. Attention …

For purposes of this review, we will define the binding problem as the problem of how the
visual system correctly links up all the different features of complex objects. For example, when …

In crowded visual scenes, attention is needed to select relevant stimuli. To study the underlying
mechanisms, we recorded neurons in cortical area V4 while macaque monkeys attended …

A new neural network architecture is introduced for incremental supervised learning of
recognition categories and multidimensional maps in response to arbitrary sequences of analog …

This article introduces a new neural network architecture, called ARTMAP, that autonomously
learns to classify arbitrarily many, arbitrarily ordered vectors into recognition categories …

It is well established that attention modulates visual processing in extrastriate cortex.
However, the underlying neural mechanisms are unknown. A consistent observation is that …

When attention is directed to a location in the visual field, sensitivity to stimuli at that location
is increased. At the neuronal level, this could arise either through a multiplicative increase in …

Attention typically amplifies neuronal responses evoked by task-relevant stimuli while
attenuating responses to task-irrelevant distracters. In this context, visual distracters constitute an …

The cortex contains multiple cell types, but studies of attention have not distinguished between
them, limiting understanding of the local circuits that transform attentional feedback into …
