A bottom-up saliency map in the primary visual cortex for attentional guidance --- theory and experimental test Speaker: Prof. Zhaoping Li , Dept. of Computer Science, University College London Relevant URL: http://cbcl.mit.edu/ Abstract: I will introduce the physiological and behavioral data that motivated this theory, the conceptual and modeling framework of this theory, and very briefly, a model of the V1 circuit implementing the saliency computation. Furthermore, I will derive the non-trivial and surprising predictions from this theory, and show the behavoiral experiments that tested and confirmed the predictions. We will then discuss the implications of this theory for the network of attentional mechanisms in the brain, and relate them to issues such as
