The influence of caffeine on spatial-selective attention: an event-related potential study
The influence of caffeine on spatial-selective attention: an event-related potential study is a scholarly work, published in 2000 in ''Clinical Neurophysiology''. The main subjects of the publication include developmental psychology, electroencephalography, information processing, attention, executive functions, event-related potential, placebo, Late positive component, caffeine, attentional control, psychology, perception, visual perception, audiology, neuroscience, task, multisensory integration, and cognitive psychology. This pattern of results suggests that caffeine has no specific influence on spatial-selective attention, but rather, has a more general facilitating effect on perceptual processing, as well as a possible effect on the frontal control mechanisms, i.e. focusing attention and increasing selectivity.
