This work proposes a biologically inspired approach that focuses on attention\nsystems that are able to inhibit or constrain what is relevant at any one\nmoment. We propose a radically new approach to making progress in human-robot\njoint attention called "the joint guided search task". Visual guided search is\nthe activity of the eye as it saccades from position to position recognizing\nobjects in each fixation location until the target object is found. Our\nresearch focuses on the exchange of nonverbal behavior toward changing the\nfixation location while also performing object recognition. Our main goal is a\nvery ambitious goal of sharing attention through probing synthetic foreground\nmaps (i.e. what is being considered by the robotic agent) and the biological\nattention system of the human.\n
