Understanding how neural oscillatory phase affects perception and attention

该项目研究了人类大脑活动中的节奏“波”，目的是确定它们参与注意力和视觉感知背后的机制，并区分不同方面的注意力所涉及的节奏活动类型。该项目将产生新的知识，并通过描述视觉感知的基本节奏性，使澳大利亚的认知神经科学受益。除了解决现有的科学争议外，该项目的成果还包括创建一个大型的公共行为和神经数据存储库，以及生成新知识，以指导针对注意力要求高的现实世界场景的认知增强策略的开发。

The project examines rhythmic 'waves' in human brain activity, with the aims of determining the mechanisms behind their involvement in attention and visual perception, and of differentiating the types of rhythmic activity involved in different aspects of attention. The project will generate new knowledge, and benefit cognitive neuroscience in Australia, by characterising the fundamental rhythmic nature of visual perception. In addition to resolving existing scientific controversies, the outcomes of this project include the creation of a large, public repository of behavioural and neural data, and the generation of new knowledge to guide development of cognitive enhancement strategies for attentionally demanding, real-world scenarios.
