Attention

Attention is the fundamental mechanism that determines what information we parse from the environment.

Reward

Reward selectively affects the way we pay attention and thus how we perceive the world around us.

Selection History

Selection history describes the phenomenon that what we have attended in the past will determine what we pay attention to in the present.
