Abstract

Recent electrophysiological studies of visual attention have highlighted the importance of visual circuits through evolutionarily conserved brain regions in the midbrain that target processing stages downstream from early visual cortex. These findings support the target article’s emphasis on late-stage “task selection” but are also consistent with early-stage modulation of basic visual features and flexible pooling of visual signals.
