We are constantly faced with a complex sensory environment containing numerous stimuli. However, at each instant, only a small subset of this information filters through to working memory and captures our attention. A key component of this filter is competitive selection, i.e., the selection of the most salient stimulus. With electrophysiology, I study the mechanisms of bottom-up and top-down competitive stimulus selection in the barn owl optic tectum (avian homolog of the superior colliculus).
