Previous studies have operationalised mental effort via various indices of psychophysiology,
particularly cardiovascular measures. Metabolic measures represent a complementary …

The present study was designed to explore whether sustained attention tasks can be
adequately described by a mindlessness perspective or a limited resource perspective. One …

Depression is associated with an inter-hemispheric imbalance; a hyperactive right-
hemisphere (RH) and a relatively hypoactive left-hemisphere (LH). Nevertheless, the …
