Selective attention can selectively increase sensitivity to particular visual features in order to
prioritize behaviorally relevant stimuli. Moreover, neural responses to attended feature …

Reading is a complex process that involves low-level visual processing, phonological
processing, and higher-level semantic processing. Given that skilled reading requires integrating …

In most environments, the visual system is confronted with many relevant objects simultaneously.
That is especially true during reading. However, behavioral data demonstrate that a …

Interacting with a cluttered and dynamic environment requires making decisions about visual
information at relevant locations while ignoring irrelevant locations. Typical adults can do …

To test the limits of parallel processing in vision, we investigated whether people can recognize
two words at once. Participants viewed brief, masked pairs of words and were instructed …

Saccadic eye movements occur frequently even during attempted fixation, but they halt
momentarily when a new stimulus appears. Here, we demonstrate that this rapid, involuntary “…

Distinct attentional mechanisms enhance the sensory processing of visual stimuli that
appear at task-relevant locations and have task-relevant features. We used a combination of …

Successfully navigating a dynamic environment requires the efficient distribution of finite
neural resources. Voluntary (endogenous) covert spatial attention selectively allocates those …
