Competition and selection during visual processing of natural scenes and objects [PDF]
, 2003 When a visual scene, containing many discrete objects, is presented to our retinae, only a subset of these objects will be explicitly represented in visual awareness. The number of objects accessing short-term visual memory might be even smaller. Finally,
