Affective attention under cognitive load: reduced emotional biases but emergent anxiety-related costs to inhibitory control [PDF]
Trait anxiety is associated with deficits in attentional control, particularly in the ability to inhibit prepotent responses. Here, we investigated this effect while varying the level of cognitive load in a modified antisaccade task that employed ...

SpartanAnatomy.org: Evaluating a new interactive neuroradiology tool for early medical education
Abstract Teaching neuroanatomy through the lens of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers medical students a strong foundation for success. However, many existing MRI learning resources lack interactivity and user‐friendliness, require payment, or include an overwhelming number of labeled structures.
