Computer-Based Cognitive Training Improves Brain Functional Connectivity in the Attentional Networks: A Study With Primary School-Aged Children [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019 We have shown that a computer-based program that trains schoolchildren in cognitive tasks that mainly tap working memory (WM), implemented by teachers and integrated into school routine, improved cognitive and academic skills compared with an active ...

Effects of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on the functioning of attentional networks and heart rate variability in healthy young adults [PDF]
Journal of Exercise Science & FitnessObjective: Human attentional mechanisms comprise three distinct networks: alerting, orienting, and executive control. Studies assessing the acute effects of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on these networks have yielded inconsistent results.

Altered interactions between attentional networks in older adults with mild cognitive impairment [PDF]
HeliyonPrevious research using the Attention Network Test (ANT) paradigm has indicated that older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) experience declines in attentional performance across the three core networks: alerting, orienting, and executive ...

Providing Task Instructions During Motor Training Enhances Performance and Modulates Attentional Brain Networks [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Learning a new motor task is a complex cognitive and motor process. Especially early during motor learning, cognitive functions such as attentional engagement, are essential, e.g., to discover relevant visual stimuli.

Neural correlates of attentional capture in visual search [PDF]
, 2004 Much behavioral research has shown that the presence of a unique singleton distractor during a task of visual search will typically capture attention and thus disrupt search.

Mechanisms Underlying Cognitive Effects of Inducing a Mindful State
Journal of Cognition, 2022 Mindfulness is understood as a state or practice of guiding attention to the present moment without judgment. While some studies on mindfulness-based interventions demonstrate beneficial effects on cognitive functions (e.g.Chiesa et al., 2011;Yakobi et ...

Attentional Networks in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Behavioural Neurology, 2013 We tested the efficiency of three attentional systems (spatial orienting, phasic alerting and executive control) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), by using a modified version of the Attention Network Test, which employs acoustic tones to modulate phasic alertness.

On the Interpretability of Attention Networks
CoRR, 2022 Attention mechanisms form a core component of several successful deep learning architectures, and are based on one key idea: ''The output depends only on a small (but unknown) segment of the input.'' In several practical applications like image captioning and language translation, this is mostly true.

Kronecker Attention Networks [PDF]
Proceedings of the 26th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery & Data Mining, 2020 Attention operators have been applied on both 1-D data like texts and higher-order data such as images and videos. Use of attention operators on high-order data requires flattening of the spatial or spatial-temporal dimensions into a vector, which is assumed to follow a multivariate normal distribution.
