Abstract: ABSTRACT Recent behavioural research has provided support for an active attentional suppression of known distractor items. Reaction times are faster when participants are informed of the colour of distractors composing half of a search array… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT According to the threat-capture hypothesis, irrelevant-but-salient stimuli interfere more with a visual search task when they are perceived as threatening. We investigated the neural basis for behavioural interference in conditions that promote attentional suppression… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The biased competition account claims that competition between two stimuli increases when they are close together compared with when they are far apart. The reason is that nearby stimuli are more likely to be… read more here.
