Pupil Diameter Tracks Lapses of Attention
Our ability to sustain attention for prolonged periods of time is limited. Studies on the relationship between lapses of attention and psychophysiological markers of attentional state, such as pupil diameter, have yielded contradicting results. Here, we investigated the relationship between tonic fluctuations in pupil diameter and performance on a demanding sustained attention task. We found ro...
متن کاملSurprise leads to noisier perceptual decisions
Surprising events in the environment can impair task performance. This might be due to complete distraction, leading to lapses during which performance is reduced to guessing. Alternatively, unpredictability might cause a graded withdrawal of perceptual resources from the task at hand and thereby reduce sensitivity. Here we attempt to distinguish between these two mechanisms. Listeners performe...
متن کاملPupil Size and Mental Load
This experiment explores whether the size of human pupil dilation is a measure that can discriminate between easier and harder intellectual tasks undertaken by the participant when information is displayed on a computer monitor. While it has been previously found that a participant’s pupil dilation will be larger during harder intellectual tasks, these experiments have not generally been conduc...
متن کاملPupil size in diabetes.
Sympathetic function was studied in 101 diabetic children and 102 age and sex matched control children, as part of a longitudinal study of the evolution of microvascular disease in the population of diabetic children and adolescents in Avon County. The median (range) age of the diabetic population was 13.5 (6.0-17.2) years, the duration of diabetes was 4.0 (0.4-13.9) years, and glycated haemogl...
متن کاملEffects of latanoprost and pilocarpine combination on the intraocular pressure and pupil size of normal rabbits
The aim of this study was to determine the combination effect of latanoprost and pilocarpine on theintraocular pressure and pupil size in normal rabbits. In this study, 18 rabbits were randomized to threegroups of 6 animals each. The right eyes of rabbits in group 1 were treated topically with latanoprost, ingroup 2 with pilocarpine and in group 3 with latanoprost and pilocarpine. The left eyes...
