The perceptual load theory of attention proposes that the degree to which visual distractors are processed is a function of the attentional demands of a task-greater demands increase filtering of irrelevant distractors. The spatial configuration of such filtering is unknown. Here, we used steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) in conjunction with time-domain event-related potentials (ER...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of cognitive-attentional and cognitive-motor load on the performance of bimanual coordination skill. 31 female students (mean age 25+2 years) from shahid beheshti university attending were selected voluntarily and divided randomly into three groups: single group (n=11), cognitive group (n=10) and cognitive-motor group (n=10). single group partici...

The need for calculating actions has been emerged everywhere and in any time, by advancing of information technology. Cloud computing is the latest response to such needs. Prominent popularity has recently been created for Cloud computing systems. Increasing cloud efficiency is an important subject of consideration. Heterogeneity and diversity among different resources and requests of users in ...

It is argued that reliable acoustic profiles of speech under stress can only be found if different types of stress are clearly distinguished and experimentally induced. We report first results of a study with 100 speakers from three language groups, using a computer-based induction procedure that allows distinguishing cognitive load due to task engagement from psychological stress. Findings sho...

The intricate relationship between multisensory integration and attention has been extensively researched in the multisensory field; however, the necessity of attention for the binding of multisensory stimuli remains contested. In the current study, we investigated whether diverting attention from well-known multisensory tasks would disrupt integration and whether the complexity of the stimulus...

Prospective memory (PM) deficits have recently been documented in individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). In this paper, we investigated whether these deficits are due to the failure of retrospective memory processes. We also examined the role played by attentional/executive processes in PM functioning. We enrolled 24 individuals with aMCI and 24 healthy controls (NCs). In t...
