Attention is a key process to many daily tasks but it is characterized by limited resources. In many high-stake domains, operators must perform complex tasks for long durations, which deplete attentional resources and promote error making. Yet, previous studies have shown that exposure to nature stimuli can help recovering those resources. The current project aims […]
