Paying attention to a location helps the brain to process not just what you can see there, but also what you can’t – suggesting that attention and awareness are controlled by different pathways in the brain.

Several areas of the brain involved in processing visual information respond differently depending on whether an object is in an expected or an unexpected location.

Oscillations in brain activity influence how well we perceive objects in both expected and unexpected locations.

Identifying an object in an unexpected location is quick, but responding to it is slower.

Electrical stimulation applied to the brain during training can boost performance on new, untrained tasks controlled by the same brain areas.

Brain stimulation may improve the general benefits of brain training by increasing our ability to process information.

QBI researchers have received more than $10 million in project grants from the National Health and Medical Research Council.

Brain stimulation can alter activity throughout the connected networks of the brain, Queensland research finds.
