Notre espèce, Homo sapiens, a de tout temps dû co-évoluer avec les changements climatiques et écologiques du territoire. Ces interactions ont pu influencer l’évolution biologique et culturelle des populations humaines. Pour autant, nos connaissances sur ces processus restent limitées par la nature même des données archéologiques disponibles et la difficulté de mettre en relation les […]

Healthcare providers spend more and more time in front of computer screens reviewing notes and searching for information, and less and less time developing meaningful relationships with patients.

In daily tasks such as driving or walking down the street, our visual system must select a subset of information to attend to while filtering out unnecessary information. Failure to filter out distractions can have dire consequences (e.g. injuries, collisions), and little is known about the cognitive mechanisms that govern attentional control or how to […]
