시각적 선택에 대한 과거 정신물리학적, 신경 생리학적 연구결과를 토대로 Feature Gate 라는 신경 망 모형을 제안하였다. 이 모형에는 공간 배치도가 위계 적으로 구성되어 있으며, 정보의 흐름이 위계의 각 수준으로부터 그 다음 수준으로 넘어갈 때 주의 게이트에 의해 조절되도록 되어 있다. 주의 게이트들은 독특한 세부 특징을 가진 위치에 반응하는 상향식 시스템과 표적 세부 특징이 있는 위치에 반응하는 하향식 기제 모두에 의해 조절된다. 본 연구는 Feature Gate 모형의 하향식 기제에 초점을 맞추어 모형을 설명하고, 현재 다른 모형들이 설명하지 못하는 Moran & Desimone(1985)의 연구결과를 이 모형이 어떻게 설명하는지를 제시하고자 한다. Feature Gate 모형은 병렬 적인 세부특징 검색, 계열 적 접합표적 검색, 단서에 의한 주의의 점진적 감소 모형, 세부특징-주도적인 공간적 선택, 주의의 분할, 방해자극 위치의 억제, 주변 억제 등을 포함한 시각적 주의 연구의 여러 가지 많은 현상들을 설명하는데 하나의 일관적인 해석을 제공해 준다. 앞으로 이 모형을 더욱 확장, 발전 시켜 세부특징의 조합된 배열에 반응하는 상위 수준의 유닛을 사용한다면 시각적 선택과정이 포함된 형태 재인 모형으로 개발될 수 있다.

Transient attention impairs observers' temporal resolution in a cued location. This detrimental effect of attention was ascribed to inhibitory connections from parvocellular to magnocellular neurons [1]. Alternatively, the difficulty might arise because attention facilitates the temporal summation of two successive stimuli. The current study examined this hypothesis by manipulating the luminance polarity of the stimuli against a background. Attention should not modulate temporal summation of two anti-polar stimuli because these are processed in separate channels. Indeed, observers judged the temporal order of two successive stimuli better in the cued location than in the uncued location when the stimuli were opposite in polarity, but temporal resolution was worse in the cued location when the stimuli had the same polarity. Thus, attentional effects on temporal resolution may be attributed to temporal summation rather than parvocellular inhibition of magnocellular activity.

Among the visual sensibility studies, many studies of color or movement have been done, but not much have been done about whether it can evoke sensibility in static form itself. Therefore, in this study, visual attention by AOIs(Area of Interests) combined with color based on three basic forms was analyzed using eye tracking, and the results were visually expressed through Heat Map and Gaze Plot. In addition, A Paired t-test was performed on the mean difference between the two groups to verify the statistical significance of each color and form. As a result of the experiment, the chromatic color form was more visual attention than the achromatic color form and warm color form was higher mean than cool color, so the visual attention was greater. In this study, it is meaningful to suggest a quantitative method which is easy to interpret objectively the design element that is easily interpreted subjectively. Based on the results of this study, if more further studies and quantitative analysis methods are presented that can identify differences in visual attention from various colors and forms, it can be used to provide guidelines for basic design.

Based on known physiological and psychophysical results, a neural network model for visual selection, called FeaureGate is proposed. The model consists of a hierarchy of spatial maps. and the flow of information from each level of the hierarchy to the next is controlled by attentional gates. The gates are jointly controlled by a bottom-up system favoring locations with unique features. and a top-down mechanism favoring locations with features designated as target features. The present study focuses on the top-down mechanism of the FeatureGate model that produces results similar to Moran and Desimone's (1985), which many current models have failed to explain, The FeatureGate model allows a consistent interpretation of many different experimental results in visual attention. including parallel feature searches and serial conjunction searches. attentional gradients triggered by cuing, feature-driven spatial selection, split a attention, inhibition of distractor locations, and flanking inhibition. This framework can be extended to produce a model of shape recognition using upper-level units that respond to configurations of features.

In this study, we examined the effects of spatial attention in Hangul word recognition depending on visual factors. The visual complexity of words (Experiment 1) and contrast (Experiment 2) were manipulated to examine whether the effect of spatial attention differs depending on visual quality. Participants responded to words with and without codas in experiment 1 and words in high-contrast and low-contrast conditions in experiment 2. The effects of spatial attention were investigated by calculating the difference in performance between the condition where spatial cues were given at the target location (valid trial) and the condition where the spatial cues were not given at the target location (invalid trial) as the cuing effects. As a result, the cuing effects were similar depending on the complexity of the words. It indicates that the effects of spatial attention were not different across the visual complexity conditions. The cuing effects were greater in the low-contrast condition than in the high-contrast condition. The greater effect of spatial attention when the contrast is low was explained as a mechanism of signal enhancement.

Many objects are always present in a visual scene. Since the visual system has limited capacity to process multiple stimuli at a time, how to cope with this informational overload is one of the important problems to solve in visual perception. This study investigated the suppressive interactions among multiple stimuli when attention was directed to either one of the stimuli or all of them. The results indicate that suppressive interactions among multiple circles were reduced in V4 when subjects paid attention to one of the four locations, as compared to the unattended condition. However, suppressive interactions were not reduced when they paid attention to all four items as a set, in order to compute their mean size. These results suggest that whereas focused attention serves to later out irrelevant information, distributed attention provides an average representation of multiple stimuli.

The study investigated the users' functional requirement, degree of acceptance and preference of game broadcast real-time review .Secondly it comparatively analyzed the types and locations of game broadcast real-time review through eye tracking tech. The results show that users have high functional requirements and high acceptance for game broadcast real-time review but their preference has no significant correlation with the feature. Among the types of game broadcast real-time review the type with translucent text bubble took the highest visual attention. The above shows that the users' visual behavior has the tendency of special style. The visual attention analysis results of different types and locations of game broadcast real-time review in the study can play a guiding role in the interface design of real-time review feature in the future.

본 논문은 상향식 현저함 모델을 이용하여 입력 영상으로부터 시각적 주의를 갖는 영역들을 자동으로 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 인간의 시각 시스템과 같이 사전 지식 없이 시각정보의 공간적인 분포에 근거하여 장면을 해석하는 상향식 현저함 모델 방법을 입력 영상에 적용하여 관심 물체 영역을 검출하는 연구이다. 상향식 현저함 방법은 Treisman의 세부특징이론 연구에서 제시한 바와 같이 시각적 주의를 갖는 영역은 시각정보의 현격한 대비차이를 가지는 영역으로 집중되어 배경에서 관심영역을 구분할 수 있다. 입력 영상에서 현저함 모델을 통해 3차원 현저함 맵을 생성한다. 그리고 생성된 현저함 맵으로부터 실제 관심영역들을 검출하기 위해 제안한 방법에서는 적응적 임계치 방법을 적용하여 관심영역을 검출한다. 제안한 방법을 관심영역 분할에 적용한 결과, 영역 분할 정확도 및 정밀도가 약 88%와 89%로 제시되어 관심 영상분할 시스템에 적용이 가능함을 알 수 있다.

Human visual attention system has a remarkable ability to interpret complex scenes with the ease and simplicity by selecting or focusing on a small region of visual field without scanning the whole images. In this paper, a novel feature map generation and integration method for attention based visual information processing system is proposed. The depth information obtained from a stereo pair of images is exploited as one of spatial visual features to form a set of topographic feature maps in our approach. Comparative experiments show that correct detection rate of visual attention regions improves by utilizing depth feature compared to the case of not using depth feature.

This study examined the conditional indirect effect of EEG (electroencephalogram) arousal on the relationship among affective valence, visual attention, perceived self-relevance, and attitudes toward campaign issues in the context of public service announcements (PSAs). Using SPSS macro (No. 14) of conditional process model, the findings in this current study indicated that the perceived self-relevance mediates the relationship between affective valence of PSA and attitudes toward issues and, in turn, is moderated by EEG arousal, indicating goodness-of-fit of the moderated mediation of psychophysiological arousal on PSAs. The results suggested that management of PSAs should be considered the strategic combination between affective valence and perceived self-relevance in advertising appeals.
