… We are grateful to Cathleen Grimsen and Daniela Galashan for fruitful comments on the
manuscript and to our student volunteers and colleagues who participated in the study and …

Selective visual attention is known to be associated with characteristic modulations of neuronal
activity in early visual cortex, but there is only rare evidence showing that these neuronal …

In monkeys, long-term recordings with chronically implanted microelectrodes frequently
suffer from a continuously decreasing probability to record single units or even small multiunit …

Nonspatially selective attention is based on the notion that specific features or objects in the
visual environment are effectively prioritized in cortical visual processing. Feature-based …

Directing attention to a specific feature of an object has been linked to different forms of
attentional modulation. Object-based attention theory founds on the finding that even task-…

Sudden changes in visual scenes often indicate important events for behavior. For their
quick and reliable detection, the brain must be capable to process these changes as …

We report findings from several variants of a psychophysical experiment using an acceleration
detection task in which we tested predictions derived from recent neurophysiological data …

Visual perception depends on the effective prioritization of visual information in order to
concur with the current behavioral context. Depending on the context’s requirements, it is …
