New insights into brain dynamics will improve our understanding of both normal and atypical functioning. Extending previous work on normals will confirm how innovative Australian approaches can lead the research agenda in basic neuroscience, at the psychology-physiology interface. Testing in AD/HD and elderly populations will clarify dysfunctional brain mechanisms underlying AD/HD, and the cognitive losses in elderly populations (exacerbated by dementia). These results may lead to better diagnosis, treatment, and community understanding of these groups. Also, publications on these target groups will demonstrate internationally the widespread utility of this approach, encouraging further novel applications of basic neuroscience in health.

对大脑动力学的新见解将提高我们对正常和非典型功能的理解。扩展之前关于正常的工作将证实澳大利亚的创新方法如何在心理学-生理学界面上引领基础神经科学的研究议程。对 AD/HD 和老年人群进行测试将阐明 AD/HD 背后的功能失调的大脑机制，以及老年人群的认知丧失（因痴呆而加剧）。这些结果可能会导致更好的诊断、治疗和社区对这些群体的理解。此外，有关这些目标群体的出版物将在国际上展示这种方法的广泛实用性，鼓励基础神经科学在健康领域的进一步新颖应用。
