The Guidance of Attentional Selectivity in Visual Search Is Always Feature‐Based: Behavioral and Electrophysiological Evidence From Feature and Conjunction Search Tasks Open
It is generally assumed that the guidance of attention in visual search operates in a feature‐based fashion, but this conclusion is mainly based on the results of search tasks with feature‐defined targets. Here, we investigated whether att…

The capacity limitations of multiple‐template visual search during task preparation and target selection Open
Visual search is guided by mental representations of target‐defining features (attentional templates) that are activated in a preparatory fashion. It remains unknown how many templates can be maintained concurrently, and what kind of costs…

Temporal dynamics of visual awareness as a function of the level of processing of the stimulus and report requirements: an ERP study Open
While most research on the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) has focused on exploring the candidate event related potentials (ERP) components associated to visual awareness, much less is known about the temporal dynamics associated …

Attentional templates for target features versus locations Open
Visual search is guided by visual working memory representations (i.e., attentional templates) that are activated prior to search and contain target-defining features (e.g., color). In the present study, we tested whether attentional templ…

Target switch costs in visual search arise during the preparatory activation of target templates Open
Prior research on task switching has shown that the reconfiguration of stimulus–response mappings across trials is associated with behavioral switch costs. Here, we investigated the effects of switching representations of target‐defining f…

Visual versus verbal attentional templates guiding visual search Open
Visual search for known objects is controlled by visual target representations held in visual working memory. Can visual search also be guided by verbal target descriptions held in verbal working memory? And would such cross-modality guida…

Activation of multiple attentional templates in conjunction search Open
In visual search, attentional selection is guided by attentional templates (target representations held in visual working memory). In colour search, it was found that multiple target templates can be activated to guide attentional selectio…

Do We Prepare for What We Predict? How Target Expectations Affect Preparatory Attentional Templates and Target Selection in Visual Search Open
Visual search is guided by representations of target-defining features (attentional templates) that are activated in a preparatory fashion. Here, we investigated whether these template activation processes are modulated by probabilistic ex…

Preparatory template activation during feature versus singleton search Open
Visual search for target objects defined by specific features can be top-down controlled by attentional templates that are activated prior to search and subsequently bias selection of template-matching events in the visual field. In contra…

Capacity limitations in template-guided multiple color search Open
Visual selection of target objects relies on representations of their known features in visual working memory. These representations are referred to as attentional templates. We asked how the capacity of visual working memory relates to th…

Preparatory Template Activation during Search for Alternating Targets Open
Visual search is guided by representations of target-defining features (attentional templates). We tracked the time course of template activation processes during the preparation for search in a task where the identity of color-defined sea…

Concurrent attentional template activation during preparation for multiple-colour search Open
Visual search is guided by attentional templates for target-defining features. Using a new rapid serial probe presentation (RSPP) paradigm and N2pc components as electrophysiological markers of attentional capture, we recently showed that …

Suppression of salient stimuli inside the focus of attention Open
We investigated how attention is distributed when one of two attended stimuli stands out from the visual context. Participants judged whether the line orientations within two geometric shapes at two predictable locations were same or diffe…

The Time Course of Target Template Activation Processes during Preparation for Visual Search Open
Search for target objects in visual scenes is guided by mental representations of target features (attentional templates). However, it is unknown when such templates are activated during each search episode and whether this can be controll…

A capacity limit for the rapid parallel selection of multiple target objects Open
We recently employed the N2pc component as a real-time electrophysiological marker of attentional selectivity to demonstrate the existence of a fast mechanism for the independent parallel selection of two colour-defined target objects at d…
View article: Temporal dynamics of attentional templates
Temporal dynamics of attentional templates Open
Attentional templates (representations of target features) are activated prior to search to guide spatial attention to target-matching events in the visual field. To investigate the temporal dynamics of preparatory template activation, we …

The Effect of Distance on Voluntary Shifts of Attention between Visual Objects Open
In many visual search tasks, attention shifts between objects can be guided by the visual properties of these objects, but there are conditions where such shifts are elicited in a fully endogenous (voluntary) fashion. Using the N2pc compon…
