Article Abstract

The content of visual experience depends on how selective attention is distributed in the visual field. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in humans to test whether feature-based attention can globally influence visual cortical responses to stimuli outside the attended location. Attention to a stimulus feature (color or direction of motion) increased the response of cortical visual areas to a spatially distant, ignored stimulus that shared the same feature.

Spatial metabolomics and feature-based molecular networking to unveiling in-situ quality markers landscape and reflecting geographic origins of pomegranate seeds.

Food Chem

Pomegranate seeds, a by-product of pomegranate processing, are gaining attention in food industries due to their high antioxidant activity. However, the lack of quality markers reflecting activity and spatial characteristics limits their utilization and product stability. In this research, a selective and sensitive method integrating ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with feature-based molecular networking, and desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging developed to identify components and locate in-situ images of quality markers via spatial metabolomics analysis.

Interference from a salient distractor is typically reduced when the appearance of the distractor follows either spatial or feature-based regularities. Although there is a growing body of literature on distractor location learning, the understanding of distractor feature learning remains limited. In the current study, we investigated distractor feature learning by using EEG measures.

Contributions of attention to learning in multidimensional reward environments.

Real-world choice options have many features or attributes, whereas the reward outcome from those options only depends on a few features or attributes. It has been shown that humans learn and combine feature-based with more complex conjunction-based learning to tackle challenges of learning in naturalistic reward environments. However, it remains unclear how different learning strategies interact to determine what features or conjunctions should be attended to and control choice behavior, and how subsequent attentional modulations influence future learning and choice.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) establish a direct communication pathway between the brain and external devices and have been widely applied in upper limb rehabilitation for hemiplegic patients. However, significant individual variability in motor imagery electroencephalogram (MI-EEG) signals leads to poor generalization performance of MI-based BCI decoding methods to new patients. This paper proposes a Multi-scale Frequency domain Feature-based Dynamic graph Attention Network (MFF-DANet) for upper limb MI decoding in hemiplegic patients.

Remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is crucial for simplifying maintenance procedures and extending the lifespan of aero-engines. Therefore, research on RUL prediction methods for aero-engines is increasingly gaining attention. In particular, some existing deep neural networks based on multiscale features extraction have achieved certain results in RUL predictions for aero-engines.
