To our knowledge there have been very few electrophysiology studies directly comparing attentional set switching with the more standard intentional set switching (when the attended feature is constant but the stimulus-response mapping changes across trials).
We found that right FEF TMS affected BOLD responses in posterior motion- and face-responsive visual regions (MT+ and FFA, respectively) in a manner that depended on the attended feature (motion or faces; Fig. 3).
SN is best observed in difference waves, where the ERP elicited by a stimulus with the unattended feature is subtracted from the ERP elicited by the same stimulus when it has the relevant attended feature.
The one I attended featured conditioning.
Attended features also elicited a response increase relative to unattended features when their spatial location was attended.
The performance we attended featured topless women and bare-bottomed men in X-rated poses.
For supervised learning, biased ARTMAP (bARTMAP) solves the problem of over-emphasis on early critical features by directing attention away from previously attended features after the system makes a predictive error.
