also during this task that you can maximize your executive's time, which is possibly the most valuable commodity for a busy executive.
However, they were unable to see or talk to one
other during the task because they were separated by a wall between them.
«Specifically, the results will provide missing evidence on the brain areas involved in cognitive fatigue,» she noted, «as well as how their functioning is related to cognitive fatigue
during task performance.
As a result, they are able to perform as well as participants without TS
during tasks requiring cognitive control, but at the cost of greater frontal cortex activity,» explained Marc Lavoie, a researcher at the Institut universitaire en santé mentale de Montréal and supervisor of the study.
What's more, brain scans
taken during the task revealed that while the non-musicians primarily employed their left frontal cortex, the musicians used the right - hand side too (Brain and Cognition, DOI: 10.1016 / i.bandc.2008.07.009).
Analysis of teacher discussions and actions
during this task revealed multiple examples of the teachers» exploration and development of TCK, TPK, PCK, and TPCK.
One explanation Trumbo offered is that the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is particularly involved in strategy
use during tasks.
In the publication, the researchers describe the influence of an area of the brain called the nucleus accumbens and its role in behavioral flexibility, or the ability to change
strategies during a task.
As the interest of this study lay in the role of individual differences in the BAS on brain
activation during task - switching, only the SR measures were considered in our analysis.
I call myself «Chief Brand Anthropologist» of Turnstone, because I'm fascinated by the connections that can be made when taking the time to observe how people interact, their
postures during tasks, the tone and volume of someone's voice when they enter a space and the level of mobility various teams require to be the most productive.
A groundbreaking study by Suthana and colleagues, published in 2012 the New England Journal of Medicine, found that people performed better on a memory task if their entorhinal cortex — a brain hub for memory and navigation — was given a low jolt of
electricity during the task.
The researchers also studied the children in an fMRI
scanner during a task that involved arranging numbers.
The brain areas that showed greater activation on warmer days were regions typically activated by MS
patients during task performance: the frontal, dorsolateral, prefrontal and parietal cortex.
The resulting data revealed that the children who sacrificed tokens to help sick kids showed greater vagal
flexibility during the task, indicating better physiological regulation throughout.
First, they measured nasal
airflow during the task and found that subjects were truly sniffing their hands and not just lifting them to their nose.
However, you will be also more easily
distracted during this task than predicted by traditional models because multisensory objects are more distracting than just visual or auditory ones.
Both PFC activity — specifically in the right dorsolateral PFC — and eye blinks were significantly elevated when babies were asked to switch from one «language» to another, which is the most cognitively demanding moment for the
PFC during the task.
These swarming robots will incorporate optical and chemical sensors as well as communication systems to make autonomous flight decisions and to coordinate with colony
members during tasks such as searching for objects or people.
By repeating the experiment over and over, however, they are assembling a picture of what types of cells exist, how those cells
function during tasks of place memory, and what kinds of connections they form with other cells.
The main idea of the study was to correlate the subjects» theta brain
activity during the tasks with their ability to overcome ingrained bias when appropriate.
A univariate analysis made it possible to see which region of the brain was
solicited during the task, electrode by electrode, contact by contact.
«Our finding of a link between bipolar disorder and the striatum at the molecular level complements studies that implicate the same brain region in bipolar disorder at the anatomical level, including functional imaging studies that show altered activity in the striatum of bipolar
subjects during tasks that involve balancing reward and risk,» said TRSI Research Associate Rodrigo Pacifico, who was first author of the new study.
During tasks when the colony's most dominant monkey was traveling toward the reward under the observation of a lower - ranking animal, the magnitude of ICS grew steadily as the passenger approached the observer.
Deouell plans to further study the planum temporale to see how close sounds can get to one another before the region interprets them as nondistinct and whether its activity can be overridden by another part of the brain,
perhaps during a task that does not allow for any distraction.
In other research projects, Burdette and colleagues at the School of Medicine and the University of North Carolina - Greensboro have found that trained music conductors are likely to be better at combining and using auditory and visual clues than people without musical training; that activity in brain areas associated with vision
decreases during tasks that involve listening; and that different levels of complexity in music can have different effects on functional brain connectivity.
The authors find that fitness is related to the ability to inhibit attention to competing
stimuli during a task, an ability that can help children stay focused and persevere to complete an assignment.
Analysis focused on 22 regions of interest where brain activation
increased during the task, with particular attention to those regions» interactions with an area previously shown to play a role in identifying speech sounds.
Brain recording technology such as the new Neuropixels probe will allow us to make an unprecedented «neural activity map» highlighting how different brain regions
behave during the task.
She's a neuroscientist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. «I especially like that the authors show a shift in which regions are
activated during the task,» she says.
To increase the stress load, researchers lightly badgered the
volunteers during the task, urging them to hurry up or telling them they were wrong even when they gave the correct number.
