Deriving a Computational Theory of Visual Spatial Attention

Abstract

This research effort developed a computational theory for the control of human attention in two-dimensional visual tasks. Theory and experiments focused on the role of the spatial modulation transfer function for human vision, and on the characteristics and limitations of cortical receptive field processes.
