| The Role of "Mind Wandering" in Student Achievement | The Role of "Mind Wandering" in Student Achievement | We often catch ourselves thinking about something else when we are reading a book, listening to a lecture., etc., a phenomenon known as "mind wandering". The Hoffman lab is collaborating with Roberta Golinkoff and Vinaya Rajan of the UD College of Education to develop objective measures of mind wandering based on pupil diameter and EEG to explore the relationship between the propensity to mind-wander and achievement in school.

| Brain Mechanisms of Emotion-induced Blindness (EIB) | Brain Mechanisms of Emotion-induced Blindness (EIB) | EIB refers to impaired awareness of visual information appearing soon after presentation of a task-irrelevant, emotional picture (e.g., a threatening animal, a bloody face, etc.). Together with colleagues at the University of New South Wales in Australia, the Hoffman lab showed that this impaired awareness is related to brain activity in visual areas of the brain that occurs approximately a quarter of a second after presentation of the emotional picture.

| The Role of Attention in Multiple Object Tracking | The Role of Attention in Multiple Object Tracking | We (Tran and Hoffman, submitted) recently showed that limits in the number of moving objects that can be simultaneously tracked results from a limited supply of attention that is divided among the tracked objects. Failures of tracking occur when visual attention is captured by irrelevant, salient visual objects or when dual-task demands exceed capacity.
