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...

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...

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...

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...

Short- and Long-Term Impacts of A Working Memory Intervention for Children with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure
DownloadSpring 2018
This dissertation consists of two studies designed to: (1) determine the neurobehavioural profile reflecting the strengths and limitations of children with Parental Alcohol Exposure (PAE) and (2) evaluate the short- and long-term impacts of a 25-session Cogmed© intervention on improving working...
