Abstract

Attention influences the processing of visual information even in the earliest areas of primate visual cortex. There is converging evidence that the interaction of bottom-up sensory information and top-down attentional influences creates an integrated saliency map, that is, a topographic representation of relative stimulus strength and behavioral relevance across visual space. This map appears to be distributed across areas of the visual cortex, and is closely linked to the oculomotor system that controls eye movements and orients the gaze to locations in the visual scene characterized by a high salience.
