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"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["1943-3921"]},"author":[{"full_name":"Krüger, Alexander","first_name":"Alexander","last_name":"Krüger"},{"full_name":"Tünnermann, Jan","last_name":"Tünnermann","first_name":"Jan"},{"id":"451","orcid":"0000-0003-2364-9489","full_name":"Scharlau, Ingrid","last_name":"Scharlau","first_name":"Ingrid"}],"date_created":"2018-12-10T07:05:04Z","page":"1593 - 1614","intvolume":"        79","status":"public","volume":79,"title":"Measuring and modeling salience with the theory of visual attention.","year":"2017","doi":"10.3758/s13414-017-1325-6","publication":"Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"user_id":"42165","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"424"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Krüger, Alexander, Jan Tünnermann, and Ingrid Scharlau. “Measuring and Modeling Salience with the Theory of Visual Attention.” <i>Attention, Perception, &#38; Psychophysics</i> 79, no. 6 (2017): 1593–1614. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-017-1325-6\">https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-017-1325-6</a>.","apa":"Krüger, A., Tünnermann, J., &#38; Scharlau, I.
