This project provides evidence of a novel mechanism that guides visual attention. Our results confirm the existence of a mechanism that can rapidly and automatically assess the dominant feature(s) in a visual scene and radically change how attention is tuned to a target object. Moreover, this attention-guiding target template can change systematically as observers search through different items in visual search, possibly due to a re-shaping and narrowing of the target template. These are both ground-breaking discoveries that have not been described before. Work on this project promises to lead to important theoretical breakthroughs, resolve current discrepancies in the literature and advance methods of Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience.

这个项目提供了一个新的机制，引导视觉注意力的证据。我们的研究结果证实了存在一种机制，可以快速，自动地评估视觉场景中的主导特征，并从根本上改变注意力如何被调整到目标对象。此外，该注意力引导目标模板可以随着观察者在视觉搜索中搜索不同的项目而系统地改变，这可能是由于目标模板的重新成形和缩小。这些都是以前没有描述过的突破性发现。该项目的工作有望导致重要的理论突破，解决文献中的当前差异，并推进认知心理学和神经科学的方法。
