Neuro-Triggered Training

Abstract

We made progress in several areas during the past year: (1) tested the Neurotrigger hardware/software system and moved it onto a new platform for increased number of channels and a needed increase in computational headroom; (2) performed pilot recordings seeking simpler EEG measures of focused attention associated with heightened ability to receive and retain information; (3) implemented filters to remove signal contaminants typically generated by stationary subjects doing laboratory tasks, specifically eye blinks, eye movements, and muscle tension on the head; (4) designed, implemented, and piloted a new task for training the production of a preparatory attentive state associated with heightened ability to receive and retain information. We also revised a manuscript on a prior AFOSR-sponsored study of working memory; the manuscript has been accepted for publication. We also completed statistical analyses and figures and nearly completed a manuscript on a prior AFOSR- sponsored experiment on the neurophysiology of language. Brain activity, Cognition, Learning.
