  text: For almost three decades, the theory of visual attention (TVA) has been successful
    in mathematically describing and explaining a wide variety of phenomena in visual
    selection and recognition with high quantitative precision. Interestingly, the
    influence of feature contrast on attention has been included in TVA only recently,
    although it has been extensively studied outside the TVA framework. The present
    approach further develops this extension of TVA’s scope by measuring and modeling
    salience. An empirical measure of salience is achieved by linking different (orientation
    and luminance) contrasts to a TVA parameter. In the modeling part, the function
    relating feature contrasts to salience is described mathematically and tested
    against alternatives by Bayesian model comparison. This model comparison reveals
    that the power function is an appropriate model of salience growth in the dimensions
    of orientation and luminance contrast. Furthermore, if contrasts from the two
    dimensions are comb

  text: In the present article, the role of endogenous feature-specific orienting
    for conscious and unconscious vision is reviewed. We start with an overview of
    orienting. We proceed with a review of masking research, and the definition of
    the criteria of experimental protocols that demonstrate endogenous and exogenous
    orienting, respectively. Against this background of criteria, we assess studies
    of unconscious orienting and come to the conclusion that so far studies of unconscious
    orienting demonstrated endogenous feature-specific orienting. The review closes
    with a discussion of the role of unconscious orienting in action control. (PsycINFO
