Perceptual-Load-Induced Selection as a Result of Local Competitive Interactions in Visual Cortex.

A study investigated whether visual cortex cell interactions that represent nearby stimuli determine the perceptual load of a task and whether manipulating competitive spatial interactions should modulate distractor processing. Findings revealed that either spatially separating the task-relevant it...
