Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
