Stimulation to the right PPC disturbed the attentional mechanisms towards the salient stimulus while stimulation to the left PPC had an impact on moving the attention away from the salient stimulus.

We employed a paradigm in which attentional capture by a perceptually salient stimulus was placed in direct competition with top-down knowledge about task-relevance: the salient stimulus was never the target, but its perceptual prepotency nevertheless produced attentional and oculomotor capture on some trials [13].

We have already commented in the Introduction that, during infancy, evolutionary pressure would have favored selective pruning of connections supporting the analysis of the more frequently occurring encounters with the salient stimuli of a carer's face.

The evolutionary pressure would have favoured selective pruning of connections supporting the analysis of the more frequently occurring encounters with the salient stimuli of the carer's face: the young infant must recognize the identity of the carer and establish with him/her an effective communication of affect very early, well before language develops.

The whole-brain task revealed that scanning patterns were more similar for Run 1 than Run 2. One interpretation is that scanning patterns in Run 1 were largely driven by saliency which supports models of visual saliency whereby fast and primitive bottom-up processes bias the observer towards the most salient stimuli in the early stages of exposure (Parkhurst, Law, & Niebur, 2002).
