The ability of a thalamic circuit to process information selectively from a spatial location was investigated in neural network models. Starting with the known general structure of the thalamic circuit, we considered three variations of the projections from the inhibitory cells of the reticular nucleus onto the cells of the pulvinar nucleus of the dorsal thalamus. The three circuits were

Three experiments explored the gradual narrowing of visual attention to a letter target when other letters were positioned close by. The method by which attention was narrowed involved presenting a digit target immediately prior to the latter target and in the same location for progressively shorter durations and requiring the subject to identify both the digit target and the letter target before responding. The response time data from the first 2 experiments indicated that shorter durations of the digit reduced the amount of information processed from noise letters positioned on either side of the letter target. In the third experiment, in which separation of letters was increased slightly, the response times indicated that the information from flanking noise letters may have been virtually eliminated.
