Cognitive and neural mechanisms of visual search.
The visual search paradigm is a useful tool for studying the perception of multiple-element stimulus arrays, and recent studies have identified a number of factors that influence search performance. Of special importance is the selection process, and recent neurophysiological experiments have shown that the suppression of information from irrelevant objects plays a crucial role in the selection of visual search targets.
