Gaspelin, N., & Luck, S. J. (2018). The Role of Inhibition in Avoiding Distraction by Salient Stimuli. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 22, 79-92.
In this recent TICS paper, Nick Gaspelin and I review the growing evidence that the human brain can actively suppress objects that might otherwise capture our attention.
