Neural makers of lapses in attention during sustained ‘real-world’ task performance

Emily Cunningham

Feb 12, 2025

Lapses in attention are ubiquitous and, unfortunately, the cause of many tragic accidents. One potential solution may be to develop assistance systems which can use objective, physiological signals to monitor attention levels and predict a lapse in attention before it occurs. As it stands, it is unclear which physiological signals are the most reliable markers of inattention, and even less is known about how reliably they will work in a more naturalistic setting. My project aims to address these questions across two experiments: a lab-based experiment and a more ‘real-world’ experiment. In this talk I will present the findings from my lab experiment, in which we combined EEG and pupillometry to detect markers of inattention during two computerised sustained attention tasks. I will then present the methods for my second, more ‘naturalistic’ experiment in which we use the same methods (EEG and pupillometry) to examine whether these markers can still be extracted from noisier data.
