The impact of focused attention on bilateral sensory threshold adaptation during unilateral short-term tactile stimulation [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled
Background/Aim. Neuroplasticity of the somatosensory system can be manifested after short-term or long-term peripheral tactile stimulation. Focused attention has been well established as a modulator of neural processing in the visual and auditory systems.
