Category: Computational Attention

Any animal from the tiniest insect to humans is perfectly able to “pay attention”. Attention is the first step of perception which analyses the outer real world and turns into the inner conscious representation of this world. Moreover, even during dreaming phases known as REM (rapid eye movements), this eye activity proves that the attentional mechanism is at work. Attention seems to be associated with life: where is no attention there is no life. This crucial process for our survival is the key of perception and the first step to consciousness.In this series, we will show how this mechanism can be measured, modeled in computer science, what are its applications and how it can change the way computers “perceive” the data.
