Are activations in the salience map short-lived?

M Donk The salience of an object is typically determined by its local feature contrast relative to the surrounding objects. Most models of visual search assume that salience is represented in our visual system in some sort of location-based salience map. Competition among neurons in this map yields a single winning location that corresponds to the next attended location.

If the location is inhibited, the system automatically shifts to the next most salient location and so forth. Implicitly, models adhering to this idea assume that the visual system is able to continuously hold information about the relative salience of objects in the visual field. In the present study we manipulated the relative salience of individual elements in homogenous displays.

Participants had to indicate the location of the most salient element. The results demonstrated that, even though participants are very good at ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
