Hard to focus!

We publish in Cerebral Cortex a new study in collaboration with Jérôme Sackur at Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris) that explored how different types of attention interact in the brain.

We recorded brainwaves with EEG to study how involuntary attention (like a sudden sound grabbing your attention) can interrupt voluntary attention (like focusing on a task). Our findings shed light on the complex ways our brain juggles different attention processes, offering new insights into how our mind manages focus and distractions.
