Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Priority maps in different parts of the brain can be combined to highlight elements of a visual stimulus and guide attention. Schematically depicted are a stimulus-driven salience map in visual cortex, a learned value-based map in the midbrain (here favoring the bottom right corner), an instruction-based map in frontal cortex (“attend top left”), and a resulting combined priority map in the frontal eye fields.
