Basic Salience - Saccade model

I implemented a simple salience-saccade model.  Visit the repository for details.  The model can be used for any (active) vision-based agent building.

In 2021, I wrote about Visual Task and Architectures.  The current implementation is about the where path, saliency map, and active vision (gaze control) in the post.  As for the what path, I did a rudimentary implementation in 2021.  I implemented a cortico-thalamo-BG control algorithm in 2022.  I also worked on the match-to-sample task of a non-visual type this year (previous post).

While I might go for experiments on minimal visual word acquisition, I should add the what path (object recognition) to the current model in any case.
