Adaptive computation influences decision making in visual tasks, suggesting a novel approach to attention.
How do our goals continually impact perceptual processing? The answer could arise from a computational specification of perception in terms of visual tasks, or perhaps several mechanisms operating over specific contexts. Here, we suggest an alternative: adaptive computation , a new algorithmic account of attention that rations the general resource of perceptual computations according to their impact on decision making.
