Maintaining vigilance is possibly the first requirement for surveillance tasks where personnel are faced with monotonous yet intensive monitoring tasks. Decrement in vigilance in such situations could result in dangerous consequences such as accidents, loss of life and system failure. In this paper, we investigate the possibility to enhance vigilance or sustained attention using "challenge inte...

Reporting and learning systems in general The ability to learn from adverse events and near misses is a cornerstone for improving safety in different high-risk areas such as the aviation and oil industries. Commercial passenger aviation has become extremely safe partly due to extensive use of reporting and learning systems (RLS). A system for reporting adverse events and learning from these eve...

Description Introduction: Several studies support an implication of synaptic proteins in sleep regulation. Nonetheless, little is known about the role of the protein synthesis machinery in sleep. 4E-BP1 and 4E-BP2 are translational repressors, which once phosphorylated by mTORC1, release inhibition of protein synthesis. 4E-BP1 is highly expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and has been impl...

Attentional difficulties are a core axis in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, establishing consistent and detailed pattern of these neurocognitive alterations has not been an easy endeavour. Based on dimensional approach to ADHD, the present study aims at comprehensively characterizing three key attentional domains: networks (alerting, orienting, executive attention), tw...

Brain-Computer Interfaces can suffer from a large variance of the subject conditions within and across sessions. For example vigilance fluctuations in the individual, variable task involvement, workload etc. alter the characteristics of EEG signals and thus challenge a stable BCI operation. In the present work we aim to define features based on a variant of the common spatial patterns (CSP) alg...
