Summary: Investigating self-prioritization through a simple matching paradigm provides a new way to enhance our understanding of processing self-relevant content and gain insights into the self-concept. The results indicate a rapid extension of prioritization of self-associated material beyond sensory modalities.

Summary: This study found that processing visuospatial information automatically activates the manual motor system, but the effects vary depending on the type of stimulus. Lateralized objects and central arrows led to a larger increase of grip force in the ipsilateral hand, while words resulted in the opposite pattern.

Summary: This study investigated the development and decline of the ability to resist distracting stimuli while focusing on a task across different age groups. The results revealed age-related differences in coping with crossmodal spatial distraction, especially in extreme age-groups, showing varying impact on individuals' search performance.

Summary: In this study, a novel Confident Spatial-Temporal Attention Transfer (CSTAT) method is proposed to improve the accuracy of action recognition on extreme low-resolution videos. By reducing attention differences and utilizing information from high-resolution data, CSTAT achieves state-of-the-art performances on specific datasets.

Summary: The introduction of artificial lighting is rapidly changing the nighttime environment globally, impacting the visual ecology of organisms such as hawkmoths. Different artificial light sources have varied effects on multiple aspects of hawkmoth visual ecology, with some disrupting key behaviors and others mimicking natural lighting conditions. Overall, the diversity of impacts highlights the need for a nuanced approach to outdoor lighting in environmentally sensitive areas to mitigate negative effects on wildlife.

Summary: Reliable and noninvasive biomarkers are important for neurological diagnoses. Microsaccades, small eye movements, have been proposed as a biomarker for attention, but their direction may not accurately reflect covert spatial attention in complex viewing conditions.

Summary: This paper introduces spatial attention mechanism into stereo super-resolution and proposes a spatial-attention-enhance module (SAEM) to guide high-frequency feature reconstruction. The proposed SAESRnet achieves better accuracy and visual improvements compared to existing stereo SR methods, and also shows potential in improving single image super-resolution.

Summary: This paper proposes a learning strategy based on the out-of-samples technique to find the configurations of the elaboration unit and the parameters of the predictor that best balance the generalization accuracy and the computational cost. The study conducted on touch modalities classification problem shows that SLFNNs achieve the best solution in terms of accuracy, outperforming existing algorithms, while also considering the trade-off between generalization performance and computational cost.

Summary: The study found that the attention-related components of trait mindfulness, specifically observing and acting with awareness, were positively related to both affective and cognitive dimensions of trait empathy. Additionally, factors such as effortful control, reappraisal, and alexithymia played mediating roles in the relationship between these mindfulness components and empathic concern.

Summary: This paper proposes a neural network based on a spatial and channel attention module to enhance underwater images. The network's attention to channel and spatial information is reinforced to solve the problem of light absorption and scattering that degrade the quality of underwater images. A new training loss function is also proposed to improve the contrast in high-frequency, colors, and luminance.
