Responses of tectal neurons to contrasting stimuli: an electrophysiological study in the barn owl.
The saliency of visual objects is based on the center to background contrast. Particularly objects differing in one feature from the background may be perceived as more salient. It is not clear to what extent this so called "pop-out" effect observed in humans and primates governs saliency...
