We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Top-Down and Bottom-Up Control of Visual Attention: Evidence From Erps and Eye Tracking @ University of California At Davis
? DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Visual attention is imperative for day-to-day functioning. However, some basic questions about the nature of visual attention remain unresolved. There is currently a heated debate about how visual attention is involuntarily guided. Stimulus-driven theories propose that salient stimuli can automatically capture visual sTo move forward, some reconciliation between these two opposing accounts is urgently needed. The proposed research will test a new hybrid suppression account of attention capture, which posits that attend-to-me signals produced by salient information are suppressed early in visual processing. This top- down suppression signal can be indexed by the PD ERP component. In the proposed experiments, we test the relationship between the presence of behavioral capture effects and top-down suppression. The key prediction is that even when the behavioral capture effects are absent, we should still find a PD event-related potential (ERP) component to salient item. If successful, this hybrid model could resolve a twenty year debate on the nature of visual distraction. The proposed fellowship has several training goals. As a postdoctoral scholar, the applicant would receive training in advanced ERP and eyetracking techniques. The applicant would also gain the valuable opportunity to become a member of the UC Davis research community, which is internationally-renowned for its groundbreaking collaborative research in cognitive neuroscience. This fellowship is vital for the long-term career development of the applicant, who seeks to develop an independent research program that combines neuroimaging and behavioral techniques to study selective visual attention and high-order visual functioning.
