The scientists then used powerful computers to crunch the imaging data, seeking out common
patterns of neural activity at different ages.

After analysis, the researchers were able to observe how the
patterns of neural activity were changing
at each stage
of each task.
To resolve this particular contradiction, we need to recall that our brains have limited attentional resources — an attentional bottleneck results because only a single
pattern of neural activity can exist
at a time.
Researchers took a three - dimensional approach to this study by looking
at what the users» task performance was through evaluating how they process the tasks
of detecting cyberattacks with
neural activity, which was captured using electroencephalogram, or EEG, cognitive metrics and with eye gaze
patterns, which were captured using an eye - tracker.

at recreating that
pattern of neural activity, and you get better
at the game.»

These «delayed response tasks» suggest that working memory,
at the level
of brain cells, is the result
of self - sustaining
patterns of neural activity — a group
of neurons starts firing when the initial information is presented and maintains that firing internally when the stimulus is no longer present until the animal acts on that information.
