Sustaining attention to simple tasks: a meta-analytic review of the neural mechanisms of vigilant attention.
R Langner, SB Eickhoff - Psychological bulletin, 2013 - psycnet.apa.org
Maintaining attention for more than a few seconds is essential for mastering everyday life.
Yet, our ability to stay focused on a particular task is limited, resulting in well-known …
