Résumé

Humans orient to their sensory world through foveation of target location or through covert shifts of attention. Orienting provides primacy to the selected location and in humans improves the precision of discrimination. Covert orienting appears to arise separately from the mechanisms involved in saccadic eye movements. Covert orienting can serve to prioritize processing the target even increasing its subjective intensity and its acuity. However, this network does not appear to be involved in the operations related to binding and segmentation. Cells exist in the early visual cortex that are activated by both color and form features without attention, however, color and form appear to remain independent even when oriented to the target that is required to be reported. An understanding of the pathways that connect attention networks to memory networks may allow us to understand more complex aspects of spatial cognition and enhance orienting and thus improve spatial cognition.
