Definition
- Efficiently representing visual information requires that the observer select only a fraction of the multitude of information that is available to the visual system at any one instant in time. Attentional selection is the mechanism by which a subset of incoming information is extracted from the complex sensory environment. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Attention: Object-Based]
