where we don't +want to be caught + + align:start position:0% +want to be caught + + + align:start position:0% +want to be caught +looking so those are all cases where you + + align:start position:0% +looking so those are all cases where you + + + align:start position:0% +looking so those are all cases where you +might want to use covert attention + + align:start position:0% +might want to use covert attention + + + align:start position:0% +might want to use covert attention +also sometimes you want to track lots of + + align:start position:0% +also sometimes you want to track lots of + + +

them +that would be a classic case of covert + + align:start position:0% +that would be a classic case of covert + + + align:start position:0% +that would be a classic case of covert +attention because you could covertly + + align:start position:0% +attention because you could covertly + + + align:start position:0% +attention because you could covertly +attend to several of them at once and

+uh + + + align:start position:0% +uh +only the first one right so the next + + align:start position:0% +only the first one right so the next + + + align:start position:0% +only the first one right so the next +basic distinction of different kinds of + + align:start position:0% +basic distinction of different kinds of + + + align:start position:0% +basic distinction of different kinds of +attention

to and as i think i mentioned + + align:start position:0% +attention to and as i think i mentioned + + + align:start position:0% +attention to and as i think i mentioned +in i don't know what context a few weeks + + align:start position:0% +in i don't know what context a few weeks + + + align:start position:0% +in i don't know what context a few weeks +ago thank god we can decide what to pay + + align:start position:0% +ago thank god we can decide what to pay + + + align:start position:0% +ago thank god we can decide what to pay +attention to because there's lots of + + align:start

+right and so you can see even before the + + align:start position:0% +right and so you can see even before the + + + align:start position:0% +right and so you can see even before the +target stimulus

version + + + align:start position:0% +non-spatial version +so we gave subjects guess what faces and + + align:start position:0% +so we gave subjects guess what faces and + + + align:start position:0% +so we gave subjects guess what faces and +houses and a little crosshair and we had + + align:start position:0% +houses and a little crosshair and we had + + + align:start position:0% +houses and a

eye + + + align:start position:0% +and then you told us like put one eye +and then i would eyes again it like went + + align:start position:0% +and then i would eyes again it like went + + + align:start position:0% +and then i would eyes again it like went +from the house to a feet uh-huh + + align:start position:0% +from the house to a feet uh-huh + + + align:start position:0% +from the

here's an example of this + + + align:start position:0% +different ways here's an example of this +experiment and this is the percent of + + align:start position:0% +experiment and this is the percent

colored right +so you either have to report the colored + + align:start position:0% +so you either have to report the colored + + + align:start position:0% +so you either have to report the colored +letter and detect the letter after it or + + align:start position:0% +letter and detect the letter after it or + + + align:start position:0% +letter and detect the letter after it or +just detect the
