Summary

The derivation, exposition, and justification of the Selective Tuning model of vision and attention.

Although William James declared in 1890, “Everyone knows what attention is,” today there are many different and sometimes opposing views on the subject. This fragmented theoretical landscape may be because most of the theories and models of attention offer explanations in natural language or in a pictorial manner rather than providing a quantitative and unambiguous statement of the the…

Critics Review

John Tsotsos manages to achieve the difficult task of striking a good balance between an extensive overview and greater depth given the interdisciplinary nature of the theme. This book is a must read for Ph.D students who are working in this area, as it explicitly states several open topics of research and even offers overt hints and methods to address them.

–Cognitive Systems Research

The algorithmic architecture of Tsotsos’ updated selective tuning model will have immediate appeal for computational neuroscientists….
