The purpose of this study is to learn how the brain holds attention on important things while ignoring distractions. Every day, we need to focus on tasks like studying, driving, or making decisions, but it is not always easy to stay focused when other things grab our attention. This study will use special tools, like EEG (which measures brain activity), to understand what happens in the brain when attention stays on something.
You will do a few quick questionnaires, followed by an EEG session where you will complete a cognitive task with an EEG cap on your head.
