Generating Sequence of Eye Fixations Using Decision-Theoretic Attention Model
Human eyes scan images with serial eye fixations. We propose a novel attention selectivity model for the automatic generation of eye fixations on 2D static scenes. An activation map was first computed by extracting primary visual features and detecting me

Preface
Attention has been representing a core scientific topic in the design of AI-enabled systems within the last decades. Today, in the ongoing debate, design, and computational modeling of artificial cognitive systems, attention has gained a central position as a focus of research. For instance, attentional methods are considered in investigating the interfacing of sensory and cognitive information processing, for the organization of behaviors, and for the understanding of individual and social cognition in reflection of infant development. While visual cognition plays a central role in human perception, findings from neuroscience and experimental psychology have provided strong evidence about the perception-action nature of cognition. The embodied nature of sensory-motor intelligence requires a continuous and focused interplay between the control of motor activities and the interpretation of feedback from perceptual modalities. Decision making about the selection of information from the incoming sensory stream – in tune with contextual proce
