V1 Saliency Hypothesis: Importance, Impact & Neural mechanisms in V1 to generate the saliency map

The V1 Saliency Hypothesis, or V1SH (pronounced ‘vish’) is a theory about V1, the primary visual cortex (V1). It proposes that the V1 in primates creates a saliency map of the visual field to guide visual attention or gaze shifts exogenously.
