Funded Activity Summary

Why being lost-in-thought can blind you: the effects of distractor processing on perception. In many cases distraction occurs when we are lost-in-thought, leading us to miss key perceptual events that could prevent accidents. This project will examine this poorly-understood phenomenon, testing how and why this type of distraction occurs, and providing a solid foundation for future basic and applied research in multiple fields.
