Suppression of salient stimuli inside the focus of attention (2018)
Journal Article
Kerzel, D., Barras, C., & Grubert, A. (2018). Suppression of salient stimuli inside the focus of attention. Biological Psychology, 139, 106-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2018.10.010

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 different, which...

The time course of target template activation processes during preparation for visual search (2018)
Journal Article
Grubert, A., & Eimer, M. (2018). The time course of target template activation processes during preparation for visual search. Journal of Neuroscience, 38(44), 9527-9538. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.0409-18.2018

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 controlled by tempo...

Category-based attentional guidance can operate in parallel for multiple target objects (2018)
Journal Article
Jenkins, M., Grubert, A., & Eimer, M. (2018). Category-based attentional guidance can operate in parallel for multiple target objects. Biological Psychology, 135, 211-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsycho.2018.04.006

The question whether the control of attention during visual search is always feature-based or can also be based on the category of objects remains unresolved. Here, we employed the N2pc component as an on-line marker for target selection processes to...

The speed of voluntary and priority-driven shifts of visual attention (2018)
Journal Article
Jenkins, M., Grubert, A., & Eimer, M. (2018). The speed of voluntary and priority-driven shifts of visual attention. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 44(1), 27-37. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000438

The question how fast spatial attention moves between different visual objects remains debated. We used electrophysiological measures to determine the speed of voluntary and visually guided shifts of attention. Participants shifted attention from a k...
