Frequency-dependent modulation of foveal contrast sensitivity by fine-scale exogenously triggered attention.
Guzhang Y; Jaeger TF; Poletti M
Exogenous attention automatically helps us notice important things we see quickly. It makes it easier to see things clearly around what catches our attention, but it's better at noticing simpler patterns rather than really detailed ones. Even when looking closely, this kind of attention still mostly boosts simpler details.
