"One of the great advances last year has been the introduction of object tracking in relation to the analysis of data from mobile eye trackers," says iMotions' Farnsworth, referring to the process by which specific visual features can be delineated from a scene, and information about how that particular feature is attended to can then be recorded.
For example, studies based on rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of words or parts of sentences suffer from the problem that the rate of presentation (i.e., which information is presented and when it is attended to) is externally determined instead of internally controlled (i.e., by the subject).
In rodent contextual fear conditioning paradigms (5,23), inflammation impairs spatial memory despite being induced after visuospatial information has been attended to (and encoded) suggesting that our data are likely mediated via an action on early consolidation processes.
We further report that information evenings were attended by a minority of parents, with refusers most likely to attend, whose views were not substantially altered as a result.
In line with this view, they demonstrated that modeling of several manipulations of attention produced increases in the drift rate for information that was attended versus unattended.
The commissioning body (site B) has enthusiastically taken up the findings from their evaluation and created an information package for the participating GP Practices and has also held an information day which was attended by the head of the Health Checks Programme.
In the present study, travel-information needs to be attended to during driving, the latter being a highly automated task for experienced drivers.
The relative size of these two kinds of adaptive changes depends on whether proprioceptive or visual information is more attended during adaptation, with the less attended modality being more affected [30] [33].
Activation of the LC has been shown to increase cortical arousal (as measured by electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings) and improve the 'signal' (information that needs to be attended to) by decreasing the 'noise' (background non-relevant information) which has been related to tonic activity of the LC-NE neurons [ 22- 24].
