Attention node

The Attention node is led by Kenneth Hugdahl (Bergen). Kenneth has developed a dichotic listening paradigm suited for the quantification of cognitive control demands and cognitive control abilities across tasks and individuals. The paradigm enables researchers to quantify the degree of cognitive control impairment in clinical groups, and of control enhancement in special ability groups. Results demonstrate the paradigm’s unique suitability for parametrically studying interactions between “top-down” and “bottomup” processing. Heikki Hämäläinen (Turku), Kimmo Alho (Helsinki), and Svyatoslav Medvedev (St Petersburg) are also connected to the attention node.
