Previous studies have shown the association between attention and P3 amplitude, a deflection in brain electrical activity, as well as the power of 20-35Hz Beta wave activity. Prior work has shown that attention performance ...

College students’ smartphone use presents concerns with academic dishonesty, distraction, sleep disturbances, and social withdrawal. We of the CHEEZ (Cognition and Human Electroencephalography Zone) conducted a survey to ...

College students’ smartphone use presents concerns with academic dishonesty, distraction, sleep disturbances, and social withdrawal. We conducted a survey to focus on the relationship between phone use/attitudes and ...

The mere presence of one’s smartphone can be a distraction, impairing behavioral performance on an attention task (Ward et al., 2017). Attention is positively associated with both amplitude of the P3 (a component of EEG-based ...

Smartphone use is commonly thought to be problematic, especially for the younger generations, for attention, sleep, and connection to the present. We are investigating, in undergraduate students, the association between ...

We are investigating how smartphone presence influences attention-related EEG (electroencephalographic) activity. Participants first perform a task attending and responding to infrequent targets but not frequent nontargets; ...
