OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The ability to sustain attention over time is not just a central foundation for other cognitive functions but also is important in emotional control. Here I outline some of the underlying processes in sustaining attention, and the particularly strong role that the locus coeruleus/noradrenaline systems, and right hemisphere fronto-parietal networks, play in this. I further outline the role of these systems in self-awareness/self monitoring and end by showing how it is possible to improve the performance of these systems through behavioural methods as well as by brain stimulation.
