Attention
Fruit fly offers new insights into attention and sleep
Published on:
27 November 2020
The ability to study sleep and attention in fruit flies could lead to a greater understanding of these potentially related phenomena in humans.
How the brain enables us to rapidly focus attention
Published on:
27 December 2018
QBI researchers have discovered a key mechanism in the brain that may underlie our ability to rapidly focus attention.
Paying attention helps your brain process what it can't see
Published on:
2 August 2018
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.
Rhythmic brain waves determine how well we perceive
Published on:
29 March 2018
Oscillations in brain activity influence how well we perceive objects in both expected and unexpected locations.
Seeing fast, acting slow: how the brain processes what you see
Published on:
23 March 2018
Identifying an object in an unexpected location is quick, but responding to it is slower.
Brain stimulation can boost performance on new tasks
Published on:
5 February 2018
Electrical stimulation applied to the brain during training can boost performance on new, untrained tasks controlled by the same brain areas.
Attention: interference and control
How much attention to you pay when you're reading? What happens when this process is disrupted?
Jason Mattingley: learning and memory
Professor Jason Mattingley discusses learning and memory in the brain.
The fruit fly may know it's bugging you
Published on:
24 July 2015
QBI researchers have shown, like humans, fruit flies may be self-aware of their actions.
Bees stay attentive in a virtual reality world
Published on:
17 March 2014
Bees have been found to have selective attention and key components of consciousness in a QBI study performed at UQ.
