Summary: The study discovered that visuospatial attentional performance fluctuates rhythmically rather than being stable. However, there was no difference in rhythmic attentional sampling patterns at cued locations under different predictor values. Post-hoc explorative data analyses revealed that attention samples non-cued locations in a rhythmic manner, especially when the cued location bears higher behavioral relevance.

Summary: In their study, Ruthruff and Gaspelin (2018) found that attention was less likely to be captured when cues were presented at ignored locations. However, using the appropriate baseline condition is essential when testing attention capture.

Summary: Spatial cues that mismatch the colour of a subsequent target cause slower response, and the source of this effect is currently unknown. Two possible sources are attentional signal suppression and object-file updating. By correlating brain activity with the magnitude of the effect, researchers found a negative correlation, contradicting the suppression account and supporting the object-file updating account.

Summary: Behavioral studies suggest that number manipulation involves shifting attention along a left-to-right continuum, with eye movements serving as a proxy for attention shifts during addition and subtraction problem solving. The deployment of spatial attention is fast and plays a significant role in guiding the search for answers and facilitating solving procedures in verbal working memory.

Summary: Eye-Tracking techniques have the potential to enhance cognitive interventions by providing feedback. This systematic review found that gaze-contingent training using Eye-Tracking showed effectiveness in improving cognitive and emotional deficits. However, the heterogeneity of the studied populations limits the generalizability of the results. The integration of Eye-Tracking protocols with traditional cognitive approaches shows promise.

Summary: Placing complementary product displays together can increase attention, leading customers to focus more on the focal product and ultimately decide to make a purchase.

Summary: This review summarizes recent neurophysiological findings on the control of visuospatial attention, focusing on two frontoparietal networks. Research has shown that these networks are not just responsible for top-down and bottom-up attention, but also interact dynamically. The dorsal attention network plays a role in attentional orienting, while the ventral attention network interacts with the dorsal network and has a resetting function.

Summary: In this paper, a Criss-Cross Location Attention (CCLA) module is proposed to address the issue of accurate target state estimation in tracking. The module focuses on global and local contextual information and is used for the adaptation of IoU-Net based trackers. The ATCC tracker, which combines a Siamese architecture with CCLA, shows favorable performance against state-of-the-art trackers on benchmark datasets while operating at 30 FPS on a single GPU.

Summary: The adolescent brain undergoes significant changes in structure and function. This study found that pubertal hormones may modulate the development of neural oscillatory activity, especially in visuospatial processing and attention functions during puberty.

Summary: This study investigates the possibility of decoding selective attention in cochlear implant users and its correlation with speech understanding. The results show that selective attention decoding is possible even in monaural presentation, and it is correlated with speech understanding performance.

Summary: The study found that individuals with MCI or AD show mild impairment in spatial IOR, which can be detected using a double cue paradigm. Reduced spatial IOR in high-risk healthy older individuals is associated with decreased memory and other neurocognitive task performance.

Summary: Recent experiments have shown that during the search for a target, attention is guided by both positive and negative features. Positive features capture attention, while negative features are suppressed. This suggests that both capture and suppression play a role in guiding visual attention.

Summary: This study adapted the Posner task, commonly used in humans, for mice using touchscreen technology, showing that mice are a valid animal model for studying attention orienting neural mechanisms. Mice responded more quickly and accurately to valid cues, and could be trained to voluntarily maintain their nose-poke on a touchscreen for attention orienting tasks.

Summary: The study confirms the anticipatory nature of the vN component in relation to preparatory visuospatial attention, showing that attention effects start before stimulus presentation. In the top-down attentional control process, the orientation of attention emerges before the selection of hands.
