Figure 11.10 Attentional Response Restoration in the presence <strong>of</strong> Distractors. (A) (Top<br />

Panel) The three line plots represent the vertical feature coding neuron’s response to a<br />

vertical bar (“Reference”), a horizontal bar at a different position (“Probe”), and both<br />

bars presented simultaneously (“Pair”). In each case, the input lasted 30 time steps,<br />

beginning at time step 20. (Bottom Panel) When “attention” (depicted as a white oval)<br />

is focused on the vertical bar, the firing rate for the Pair stimulus approximates the<br />

firing rate obtained for the Reference alone (from [31]). (B) (Top Panel) Responses from<br />

a V4 neuron without attention. (Bottom Panel) Responses from the same neuron when<br />

attending to the vertical bar (see condition Pair Att Ref) (from [36]).
