Dear authors,

I’ve read with great interest your paper; I particularly paid attention to the selection process in the observation of dynamic scenes, about which you wrote: “To effectively interact with our natural and social world, we selectively gaze at and process a limited number of local scene regions or visual items that are informative or interesting to us.”

I and my group observed what seems to be a very similar phenomenon while studying the interpretation of natural language written messages (work published in 2015 on PeerJ): a subjective and unpredictable selection of words and phrases while reading an unabridged message drawn from a real life situation. Have you deepened the source of the selection you detected while studying dynamic scenes observation?

Have you observed, maybe, if different persons, while gazing at the same scene, are attracted by different scene regions or visual items?

Thank you very much and best regards

Roberto
