The ups and downs of visuospatial attention

大脑有一种非凡的能力，通过无缝整合来自不同位置的视觉和声音来提供对世界的连贯体验。只有在大脑受损后，或者当我们面临高度注意力负荷时，我们的局限性才会变得明显。该项目旨在通过确定空间位置如何影响注意力与注意力分散，跨模态输入和情绪性的关系来研究这些限制。眼动跟踪和生理唤醒措施将与传统的认知措施相结合，以提供更深入的了解空间注意力。该项目旨在改善注意力模型，并制定创新策略，通过减少注意力不集中和分心来提高安全性。

The brain has a remarkable capacity to provide a coherent experience of the world by seamlessly integrating sights and sounds from different locations. It is only after brain damage, or when faced with a high attentional load, that our limitations become apparent. The project aims to investigate these limitations by determining how spatial location influences attention in relation to distractibility, cross-modal input and emotionality. Eye tracking and physiological measures of arousal will be combined with traditional cognitive measures to provide a deeper understanding of spatial attention. This project aims to improve attentional models and develop innovative strategies to increase safety by decreasing inattention and distraction.
