Shapes and visual attention
In this project, we investigate which features of simple 2D shapes can guide visual attention. Stimuli like color, luminance, or orientation are known to be able to guide visual attention. However, even simple shapes consist of multiple local or global features. In our first publication, we found that the global shape and the global orientation can guide visual attention when compatible with the search goals.
