New neural network (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have created a neural network model to understand the mechanics of how humans concentrate in complex environments. With this task, participants face three distractions from a primary task, mimicking more natural conditions for human concentration. Instead of looking at simple colored words (Stroop task), participants are required to find a target feature among complex stimuli with varying shapes, colors, borders and motion directions. People respond slower when the target is mixed with many distractors.
