Objective
Better understanding of attention mechanisms in the brain is feasible through analysing of experimental data from the viewpoint of control theory and computational neural models.
The objectives are:
a) construct an observer framework for attention and from this framework
b) develop its mathematical structure in a neural network environment;
c) simulate present single cell data in monkeys and lower animals to justify the existence of a control module for directing attention;
d) analyse psychophysical data in humans for directed search, attention movement time, pre-cued shift benefits and other attention paradigms;
e) analyse brain imaging human and single cell monkey data, especially on frontal involvement, in movement of attention to determine the involvement of a possible state estimator;
f) extend this framework to briefly relate to saccade control systems;
g) extend the framework to include reward learning (of ACE/ASE/doparnine form).

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
