Category-induced Global Effects of Feature-Based Attention in Human Visual System
bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)(2022)
摘要
Global effects of FBA are generally limited to stimuli sharing the same or similar features, as hypothesized in the “feature-similarity gain model”. Visual perception, however, often reflects categories acquired via experience; whether the global-FBA effect can be induced by the categorized features remains unclear. Here human subjects were trained to classify motion-directions into two discrete categories and performed a classical motion-based attention task. We found a category-induced global-FBA effect in both the MT+ and frontoparietal areas, where attention to a motion-direction globally spread to unattended motion-directions within the same category, but not to those in a different category. Effective connectivity analysis showed that the category-induced global-FBA effect in MT+ was derived by feedback from the IFJ. Altogether, our results reveal for the first time a category-induced global-FBA effect and identify a source for this effect in human prefrontal cortex, implying that FBA is of greater ecological significance than previously thought.### Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
