Detecting a specific object in a visual scene is a task that the human visual system performs every day. To perform this target-specific object detection, it is necessary to filter out all unwanted objects during the processing, so that only the specific object can be detected. For this purpose, attention-related mechanisms along the visual pathway have been proposed to allow focusing on the desired object. Beuth and Hamker (2015) [1], using a biologically inspired recurrent model simulating lower and higher layers of the visual cortex, the frontal eye field, and the prefrontal cortex, showed
