Description As a result of the work funded through this award, it was established that certain patterns of brain activity can be used to make predictions about the subjective state of attention of the subject. In addition, it was investigated whether certain methodologies implemented in academic and clinical settings, such as non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, can be used to interfere with brain activity in order to shape or better visual perception and attention.
Exploitation Route The conclusions of this research can be used to guide the implementations of certain research tools in both academic and clinical settings.

PI Contribution In this partnership, I have replicated one experiment initially conducted in Maastricht University.
Collaborator Contribution The partners of this collaboration have conducted the original study. We had skype meetings in which they provided me with their exact methodology and advice on how to best conduct the study.
Impact This studies and replications will contribute to a broader conversation about the efficacy and implementation of specific non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in academic environments.
