Scientists probe the Brain's brakes: can attention control inhibition?

NCT ID NCT04279158

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study investigates how attention influences the brain's ability to inhibit or stop actions. Researchers will test 120 participants, including healthy volunteers and people with conditions like ADHD or stroke-related neglect, using computer-based tasks that measure eye and hand movements. The goal is to develop a better theoretical model of attention and inhibition, which could improve future diagnostic and rehabilitation tools.
