Unravelling the interplay of Statistical Learning, Top-Down, and Bottom-Up Mechanisms during target selection: Insights from Behavioural and EEG Experiments (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dolci, C., Boehler, C. N., Rashal, E., Ben-Hamed, S., Macaluso, E., Chelazzi, L., & Santandrea, E. Unravelling the interplay of Statistical Learning, Top-Down, and Bottom-Up Mechanisms during target selection: Insights from Behavioural and EEG Experiments

The natural environment exhibits consistent patterns, rendering it repetitive and partially predictable. Statistical learning (SL) enables us to discern these regularities from past experiences to then direct attention toward relevant elements for ou...

The dynamics of statistical learning in visual search and its interaction with salience processing: An EEG study (2024)
Journal Article
Dolci, C., Rashal, E., Santandrea, E., Hamed, S. B., Chelazzi, L., Macaluso, E., & Boehler, C. N. (2024). The dynamics of statistical learning in visual search and its interaction with salience processing: An EEG study. NeuroImage, 286, Article 120514. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2024.120514

Visual attention can be guided by statistical regularities in the environment, that people implicitly learn from past experiences (statistical learning, SL). Moreover, a perceptually salient element can automatically capture attention, gaining proces...

Effects of top-down and bottom-up attention on post-selection posterior contralateral negativity (2023)
Journal Article
Rashal, E., Santandrea, E., Ben-Hamed, S., Macaluso, E., Chelazzi, L., & Boehler, C. N. (2023). Effects of top-down and bottom-up attention on post-selection posterior contralateral negativity. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 85(3), 705-717. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-022-02636-7

We examined the effect of combined top-down and bottom-up attentional control sources in easy and difficult visual search tasks. Applying a new analysis on previously acquired data, we focused on the sustained posterior contralateral negativity (SPCN...

Specific Gestalt principles cannot explain (un)crowding (2023)
Journal Article
Choung, O.-H., Rashal, E., Kunchulia, M., & Herzog, M. H. (2023). Specific Gestalt principles cannot explain (un)crowding. Frontiers in Computer Science, 5, Article 1154957. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcomp.2023.1154957

The standard physiological model has serious problems accounting for many aspects of vision, particularly when stimulus configurations become slightly more complex than the ones classically used, e.g., configurations of Gabors rather than only one or...

The competition between grouping cues can be resolved under inattention (2023)
Journal Article
Rashal, E., & Kimchi, R. (2023). The competition between grouping cues can be resolved under inattention. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 85(1), 64-75. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-022-02576-2

We investigated whether attention is required for the resolution of the competition between conflicting grouping cues. Participants performed a demanding change-detection task on a small matrix presented on a backdrop composed of two organizations th...

An EEG study of the combined effects of top‐down and bottom‐up attentional selection under varying task difficulty (2022)
Journal Article
Rashal, E., Senoussi, M., Santandrea, E., Ben-Hamed, S., Macaluso, E., Chelazzi, L., & Boehler, C. N. (2022). An EEG study of the combined effects of top‐down and bottom‐up attentional selection under varying task difficulty. Psychophysiology, 59(6), Article ARTN e14002. https://doi.org/10.1111/psyp.14002

We examined the effect of combined top-down and bottom-up attentional control sources, using known attention-related EEG components that are thought to reflect target selection (N2pc) and distractor suppression (PD). We used endogenous cues (valid vs... Read More about An EEG study of the combined effects of top‐down and bottom‐up attentional selection under varying task difficulty.
