Investigating the Neural Markers for Attention Hold

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 focused on something. We are testing whether a specific brain signal, called SPCN, can show when attention is held on something for a longer time. To study this, participants will look at pictures, like happy faces and houses, and respond to where a small symbol appears on the screen. By studying how the brain reacts, we hope to learn more about how people can stay focused and avoid distractions.
