Salience of the lambs: a test of the saliency map hypothesis with pictures of emotive objects.

abstract：:Scene viewing is used to study attentional selection in complex but still controlled environments. One of the main observations on eye movements during scene viewing is the inhomogeneous distribution of fixation locations: While some parts of an image are fixated by almost all observers and are inspected repeatedly by...
