Eliminating the Attentional Blink through Binaural Beats: A Case for Tailored Cognitive Enhancement
Enhancing human cognitive performance is a topic that continues to spark scientific interest. Studies into cognitive-enhancement techniques often fail to take inter-individual differences into account, however, which leads to underestimation of the effectiveness of these techniques. The current study investigated the effect of binaural beats, a cognitive-enhancement technique, on attentional co...
متن کاملMore attentional focusing through binaural beats: evidence from the global–local task
A recent study showed that binaural beats have an impact on the efficiency of allocating attention over time. We were interested to see whether this impact affects attentional focusing or, even further, the top-down control over irrelevant information. Healthy adults listened to gamma-frequency (40 Hz) binaural beats, which are assumed to increase attentional concentration, or a constant tone o...
متن کاملWhat Are Binaural Beats
Binaural beats are auditory brainstem responses which originate in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere. They result from the interaction of two different auditory impulses, originating in opposite ears, below 1000 Hz and which differ in frequency between one and 30 Hz (Oster, 1973).For example, if a pure tone of 400 Hz is presented to the right ear and a pure tone of 410 Hz is prese...
متن کاملPhonological Attentional Blink 1 Running Head: Phonological Attentional Blink Effects of Phonological Length on the Attentional Blink for Words
People are severely limited in the rate they can identify and report visual events presented in rapid succession. This has been the focus of research on the attentional blink (AB) which is a deficit in the ability to report a second target appearing within half a second of a correctly identified first target (T1). The AB may reflect limitations for consolidating visual stimuli into working memo...
متن کاملUnmasking the attentional blink.
When asked to identify 2 visual targets (T1 and T2 for the 1st and 2nd targets, respectively) embedded in a sequence of distractors, observers will often fail to identify T2 when it appears within 200-500 ms of T1--an effect called the attentional blink. Recent work shows that attention does not blink when the task is to encode a sequence of consecutive targets, suggesting that distractor inter...
