Object-based vision and attention in primates.
In forming a representation of a visible object, the brain must analyze the visual scene pre-attentively, select an object through active attention, and form representations of the multiple attributes of the selected object. During the past two years, progress has been made in understanding the neural underpinnings of these processes by means of single-neuron recording in monkeys.
