Brain and behavioural reflections of distracted driving associated with emotion processing and social factors
DownloadSpring 2016
Driving is a complex task that requires a high level of attention for the safe operation of a motor vehicle. However, the human attention system is limited in capacity, and distraction arises when there is a competition for attention from non-driving related activities. When insufficient...

Demands on directed attention can result in attentional fatigue, inhibiting our ability to voluntarily direct attention to important features of our surroundings. Inherently fascinating environments, such as nature, have been shown to promote recovery of attention. Environments that do not...

Connecting Visual Perception, Attention, and Probabilistic Models of Task Performance with EEG Measured Brain Activity
DownloadFall 2022
The neural mechanisms underlying visual perception and attention continue to elude researchers despite decades of research. Developing novel methodology and improved analytical techniques may provide key insights into these processes that traditional approaches have been unable to reveal. In this...

EEG in the wild: Using real-world tasks to measure changes in EEG rhythms related to human Attention.
DownloadFall 2023
Understanding attentional processes in everyday environments is an important step to further understanding the EEG rhythms that, for decades, have been studied in isolated indoor chambers. The present dissertation aimed to investigate the dynamics of EEG oscillations using mobile settings. The...

Electrophysiological Correlates of Multisensory Integration in Peripersonal Space: an Exploration of the Auditory Attention System
DownloadFall 2012
Neuroscientific investigations of the primate brain point to the presence of multimodal (visual, tactile, auditory) neurons that preferentially code stimuli presented in the space immediately surrounding the body, termed peripersonal space. The activity of these neurons has been shown to...

This study compares the role of cognitive processes in children diagnosed with learning disabilities (LD) through the traditional aptitude-achievement discrepancy model with students diagnosed on the basis of their low achievement alone. Historically, in North American settings, LD has been...
