Feature-based information processing with selective attention [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We present a simple but general model for feature-based information processing with selective attention. We model feature extraction as projections onto frames of subspaces, which accounts for redundancies in the representations of individual features as well as between features. To manage limited resources, we use feedback attentional signals to dynamically allocate system resources according to the observed events. In our model, attention maximizes the average information retained about all events weighted by their relative priorities. We illustrate the model with a simple system under a total bit constraint and discuss how the organization of the feature extraction affects the optimal bit allocation.
