Abstract:Tracking a moving object with the eyes seems like a simple task but involves areas of prefrontal cortex (PFC) associated with attention, working memory and prediction. Increasing the demand on these processes with secondary tasks can affect eye movements and/or perceptual judgments. This is particularly evident in chronic or acute neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or mild traumatic brain injury. Here, we combined near infrared spectroscopy and video-oculography to examine the effects of concu… Show more
