Computing locus of consideration Visual info Pre-mindful channels Saliency delineate (Cyclopean camera) Primary data stream Modulatory impact Eye development Behavior framework

Looking Preference "Look for toy" – low skin increase, high soaked shading increase Looking time 28% face, 72% piece "Look for face" – high skin increase, low shading saliency increase Looking time 80% face, 20% square Internal impacts inclination how remarkable quality is measured The robot is not a slave to its surroundings Prefers behaviorally significant boosts

Example (video)

Example (video) Robot's inquiry is undertaking particular Still astute when proper Visual conduct passes on level of responsibility Gaze course, demeanor passes on intrigue
