Whenever a nearby object makes a sound or is seen to move, this lobe is signalled, and the object which is the most interesting over a period of time gains the creature's focus.
 
  
 
This [[lobe]] receives input signals from the the [[Concept lobe]], in which signals from the different sense lobes and the [[Verb lobe]] have previously been combined. The different inputs of one [[neuron]] are summed up and the neuron with the highest activity is selected to actually specify the object of attention of the creature. In [[Creatures 1]] and [[Creatures 2]] this behavior is achieved by the "Winner takes all (WTA)" flag in this Lobe's [[gene]]. In [[Creatures 3]] this is done by special [[Brain#SVRules|SVRules]].
