摘要
Here we present a new empirically validated computational paradigm that generates on demand stimuli with user-defined levels of salience for use in visual search tasks. Combining a Genetic Algorithm with a biologically motivated model for image saliency we are able to breed a range of customised texture elements for use in psychophysical experiments. We review these psychophysical studies, showing for the first time that an explicit and predictable continuum of search efficiency exists in human visual search. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
