EEG and behavioral correlates of attentional processing while walking and navigating naturalistic environments

Abstract The capacity to regulate one’s attention in accordance with fluctuating task demands and environmental contexts is an essential feature of adaptive behavior. Although the electrophysiological correlates of attentional processing have been extensively studied in the laboratory, relatively li...
