New research is shedding light on how sleep-like brain activity may contribute to attention difficulties in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), compared to neurotypical ...

Neuroscientists have artificially increased neuronal activity in part of the brain by briefly shining light on genetically modified neurons. They saw that this manipulation selectively enhanced ...

Visual attention is a fundamental cognitive process that enables individuals to prioritise and process behaviourally relevant stimuli while disregarding extraneous information. In this context, ...

In the new study, the researchers sought to understand what directs attention to some stimuli, but suppresses others in more detail. Using animal models, researchers recorded how activity in the LPFC ...

Adults with ADHD experience more frequent "sleep-like" brain activity while awake, driving lapses in attention and task errors.

Researchers discover how to identify and "teach" tacit knowledge by tracking eye movements and brain activity, potentially revolutionizing how we learn complex skills.

Neuroscientists find that key neurons in the front of the brain act as 'traffic control' to manage our attention to visual stimuli, and help us focus despite distractions. Trying to finish your ...

Human attention does not flow like a steady stream. Instead, it pulses in rapid cycles, with brain oscillations between 7 and ...

PHILADELPHIA—Trying to finish your homework while the big game is on TV? “Visual-movement” neurons in the front of your brain can help you stay focused, according to a new study from neuroscientists ...

Generally speaking, visual attention is a mechanism (or group of mechanisms) that selectively filters visual information and serves the purpose of helping an organism perform actions, such as ...
