Vision is widely used as a model system to gain insights into how sensory inputs are processed and interpreted by the brain. Historically, careful quantification and control of visual stimuli have served as the backbone of visual neuroscience. There has been less emphasis, however, on how an observer's task influences the processing of sensory inputs. Motivated by diverse observations of task-dependent activity in the visual system, we propose a framework for thinking about tasks, their role in sensory processing, and how we might formally incorporate tasks into our models of vision.
视觉被广泛用作模型系统，以深入了解大脑如何处理和解释感官输入。从历史上看，对视觉刺激的仔细量化和控制一直是视觉神经科学的基础。然而，人们对观察者的任务如何影响感官输入的处理关注较少。受视觉系统中任务相关活动的各种观察结果的启发，我们提出了一个思考任务、任务在感官处理中的作用以及我们如何将任务正式纳入视觉模型的框架。
