Aerobic fitness and the attentional blink in preadolescent children
… and behavioral measures under the attentional blink task to examine this relationship. Using a cross-sectional design, response accuracy and event-related brain potentials were assessed for preadolescent children with different levels of aerobic fitness. Results indicated that higher-fit …

The Effects of Video Games and Age on Attentional Blink Magnitude
… associated with differences in the attentional blink (AB). This 2x2 cross-sectional study assigned participants (N = 25) to four groups based on their age and gaming experience: seven younger non-gamers (YN; M = 25.4; range = 22–32; SD = 4.39), six older non-gamers (ON; M = 46.7; range = 39–53; …

Design and Implementation of an Eye Blink Controlled Human Computer Interface
… of living for people with disabilities. An eye blink system is presented to allow people with disabilities to control a standard computer mouse. This system is designed for people who are paralytic with no control over their arms, speech, and anyone who is restricted to only the control of eye …

An electrophysiological investigation into the influence of affect on the attentional blink
… 500 ms of the first target (TI) - an attentional blink (AB). Affect has previously been shown to influence the magnitude of the AB such that positive affect (PA) is associated with smaller ABs. To account for these findings, Olivers and Nieuwenhuis (2005) proposed an overinvestment hypothesis …

An Electrophysiological Investigation into the Role of Cognitive Control in the Attentional Blink
… 500 ms of the first target (T1) – an attentional blink (AB). Early models explained the AB in terms of attentional limitations creating a processing bottleneck such that T2 processing would be impaired while T1 processing was ongoing. Theoretical models of the AB have more recently been expanded …

Hastening the Development of the Blink-Response with Looking: A Replication and Extension
… to determine if the limit of plasticity of the blink-response had been reached. Fantz (1963) has found that infants are capable of visual perception at birth. If using the eyes hastens the development of the capacity for looking, making a stabile pattern available for infants to look at before …

Blink and You'll Miss It: An Investigation into Surging on Flade Isblink, Greenland
… glaciological flow model, Elmer/Ice, to Flade Isblink, the largest fringing ice cap in Greenland, to investigate its basal conditions and the mechanism of a surge of two of its major outlet glaciers observed around the turn of the millennium. The results show that the ice cap is largely …

Non-Target Emotional Stimuli Must Be Highly Conspicuous in Order to Break through the Attentional Blink
In the attentional blink (AB), the second of two targets (T2) separated by a short lag in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) stream is difficult to report. The AB is typically thought of as a top-down effect because it is triggered when the first target (T1) matches a search template. …

The Impact of a Single Session of Mindfulness Meditation on the Attentional Blink in Non-Meditators
… This phenomenon is known as the attentional blink. Mindfulness meditation has been shown to be beneficial in target detection and in decreasing the attentional blink. Since there is no standard for the type of meditation or duration of practice that leads to attention benefits, this study …

Dual-Task Attentional Limitations in Anxiety: Examined with the Attentional Blink Paradigm and the Beck Anxiety Inventory
… about anxiety when examined with the Attentional Blink (AB) paradigm. It was believed that an increase in anxiety would lead to an increase in the ABs. Due to high comorbidity of anxiety and depression, both constructs were measured and hypotheses were formulated to predict if the effects anxiety …

Psychophysiological responses to affective stimuli in high, moderate, and low socialized students
Psychophysiological responses (e.g. startle blink magnitude and ERPs) have demonstrated sensitivity to individual differences in humans (e.g. Patrick, Bradley, & Lang, 1993), as well as discriminating between the valence and arousal qualities of affective stimuli such as photographs depicting …

Wheelchair controlled by human brainwave using brain-computer interface system for paralyzed patient

A Purkinje cell Timing Mechanism. On the Physical Basis of a Temporal Duration Memory.
… Timing-dependent learning can be studied in eyeblink conditioning. If a neutral conditional stimulus is paired with an unconditional blink-eliciting stimulus, at an ISI of fixed duration, it acquires the ability to elicit a blink that peaks near the end of the ISI. Cerebellar Purkinje cells that …
