Neural priority maps encode behavioral relevance independently across multiple attended locations

The paper investigates how neural priority maps encode behavioral relevance across multiple attended visual locations using fMRI and finds that relevance modulations are equivalent regardless of the number of attended stimuli.

Attention Modulates Stimulus Representations in Neural Feature Dimension Maps

The paper shows that attention modulates neural feature dimension maps in visual cortex, enhancing stimulus representations in feature-selective regions based on task demands.

Feature-specific salience maps in human cortex

The paper tests if feature-selective regions in human cortex act as neural maps for salience based on visual features like color or motion, using fMRI data.
