  text: The relevance of top-down information in the deployment of attention has more
    and more been emphasized in cognitive psychology. We present recent findings about
    the dynamic of these processes and also demonstrate that task relevance can be
    adjusted rapidly by incoming bottom-up information. This adjustment substantially
    increases performance in a subsequent task. Implications for artificial visual
    models are discussed.

  text: Attention speeds up information processing. Although this finding has a long
    history in experimental psychology, it has found less regard in computational
    models of visual attention. In psychological research, two frameworks explain
    the function of attention.Selection for perception emphasizes that perception-
    or consciousness-related processing presupposes selection of relevant information,
    whereas selection for action emphasizes that action constraints make selection
    necessary. In the present study, we ask whether or how far attention, as measured
    by the speed-up of information processing, is based on selection for perception
    or selection for action. The accelerating effect was primarily based on selection
    for perception, but there was also a substantial effect of selection for action.

  text: The present study explores the deployment of attention towards nonconscious
    information. It is both theoretically and empirically likely that the deployment
    of attention can be controlled by information which is not consciously registered
    (attentional priming), similar to the control of sensorimotor responses by nonconscious
    information (response priming). However, not much is known about the functional
    basis of attentional priming. The present experiment explore whether and how strongly
    intentions (current action pans) determine whether attention is allocated towards
    invisible information (so called direct parameter specification). The results
    demonstrate that intention-mediated control is possible, but it seems to break
    down easily, that is to provide a weak and non-robust type of control.
