This paper describes the relationship between visual attention and eye blink frequency. In an experiment, we prompted the activation of a subject’s visual attention and examined the influence of visual attention (as measured using electrodermal activity (EDA), which is meaningfully correlated with visual attention) on the subject’s eye blink frequency. Experimental results show that engagement of visual attention decreased eye blink frequency and that when visual attention was not activated

INTRODUCTION
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in communication and in reciprocal social interaction along with restrictive and repetitive behaviours (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Questions regarding the etiopathological mechanism of this complex disorder remain unanswered (Lai et al., 2014; Happe et al., 2006; Antshel and Russo, 2019).

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder that is often detected during the preschool years. Neuroimaging data indicate that children with ADHD have brains that are characterized by growth and functional anomalies. Data suggest that the diminution of ADHD symptoms is correlated with improved neural functioning and growth. On the basis of these findings, interventions that target neural growth, which indicates neural development, can

At the first stage (year 2016), 48 students majoring in air traffic control were examined. At the second stage (year 2017), 43 students studying to become civil aviation pilots were involved. Correlation analysis methods and Pearson’s chi-squared test were used.

Limited attention capacity results that not all the stimuli present in the visual field are equally processed. While processing of salient stimuli is automatically boosted by bottom-up attention, processing of task-relevant stimuli can be boosted volitionally by top-down attention. Usually, both top-down and bottom-up influences are present simultaneously, which creates a competition between these two types of attention. We examined this competition using both behavioral and

Various factors are believed to cause blinking. One of these factors is attention. However, the relationship between blinking and attention has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we focus on electrodermal activity (EDA) to demonstrate this relationship. EDA is an electrical phenomenon involving the glandular releasing of sweat that is caused by mental excitement or strain. We employ EDA to quantify attention as a means to elucidate the blinking–attention relationship. We conduct an

Electrodermal Activity (EDA) refers to change in the electrical properties of skin during mental exertion caused by tension and agitation. In recent studies, it has been revealed that there is an overlap between the brain activation area where emotion occurs and the brain activation area responsible for attentiveness. Consequently, in this paper we test our hypothesis that, given these findings, visual attention can be estimated via EDA. The results of experiments conducted verify that EDA can

Processing auditory events without an explicit need of attention has a substantial role for the prediction of deviant events (Seppänen et al., 2012). Indeed, Arnal and Giraud (2012) proposed that direct access to probabilities of sensory events is not necessary for successful task performance. Previous work shows a reduction

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a frequent neurodevelopmental disorder typical with the primary symptoms as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in children (1). The worldwide prevalence in children is 7.2 % (6.7-7.8 %)(2), and ADHD studies report 2 to 10 times more frequency in boys than in girls (3).
Stimulants are the most widely used pharmacological agents in ADHD treatment (1), and methylphenidate (MPH) is the first choice among them according to the

The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDs), including autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, tic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and emotional disturbances, has increased notably in the past few decades. To date, debate continues as to the origins of NDs. Increases in widespread exposure to and bioaccumulation of chemical neurotoxicants have paralleled the upsurge in NDs, and are suggested to be causal agents for NDs. One consistent aspect of NDs

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood, with an estimated worldwide prevalence of 7.2% in children ≤18 years (1). According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), ADHD is characterized by the core symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that negatively impact social and academic/occupational functioning (2).

PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE
The aim of the paper is to draw attention to the benefits that can be obtained as a result of the implementation of projects aimed at improving energy efficiency, both ecological and economic benefits. Each pro-efficiency action contributes to measurable savings in fuel and energy consumption, and thus not only reduces the current costs of business operations, but also contributes to environmental protection through, for example, reduced carbon dioxide emissions.
