                         decide which location in the visual field we must pay attention 
                         first. An object containing a distinctive feature can attract 
                         attention in a bottom-up way. By comparing one object with the 
                         others present in the scene, bottom-up conspicuity features are 
                         used to guide attention to the most different object. Top-down 
                         hints are based on the previous knowledge about the objects or on 
                         which features are important to locate them and also have a large 
                         influence on the attended locations. Inspired by the mechanisms of 
                         human visual attention we developed a new methodology to integrate 
                         bottom-up and top-down information by using a fuzzy net containing 
                         three fuzzy subsystems. The first bottom-up subsystem allow us to 
                         combine features and infer with great flexibility some intuitive 
                         decision rules based on the visual perception principles such as 
                         the Gestalt laws. The second top-down subsystem combines different 
                         features according to the relevance of them in different tasks. 
                         Finally, the last subsystem integrates the information of the 
                         previous systems and gives a general salience index. The new 
                         methodology was tested in geometrical objects considering the 
                         features that attract attention to human beings.",
