This study presents a novel computational model for visual search, explaining how the brain converts object appearance into target locations for eye movements. The model accurately predicts human visual search paths and fixations.

Area of Science:

  • Computational neuroscience
  • Visual cognition
  • Oculomotor system

Background:

  • Visual cognition relies on accurate gaze orientation.
  • Oculomotor system requires computed target locations for gaze shifts.
  • Object appearance is a key information source for gaze control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a computational model for converting visual appearance into target positions.
  • To explain how the brain computes target locations for eye movements.
  • To model the process of visual search and gaze control.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized iconic scene representations from multi-scale spatiochromatic filters.
  • Implemented a coarse-to-fine search strategy comparing largest scale filter responses.

  • Generated saliency maps to program eye movements.
  • Separated targeting and decision processes in the model.

    • Main Results:

    • The model explains center-of-gravity saccades observed in prior experiments.
    • Model performance was compared quantitatively and qualitatively with human eye movements.
    • Model predicted human search paths and false target fixations with high accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed model effectively simulates visual search and gaze control.
    • The model's separation of targeting and decision processes is a key feature.
    • The model demonstrates strong agreement with human visual behavior in naturalistic tasks.
