The impact of digital technology, social media, and artificial intelligence on cognitive functions: a review

Mathura Shanmugasundaram, Arunkumar Tamilarasu · 24 Nov 2023

In our modern society, digital devices, social media platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become integral components of our daily lives, profoundly intertwined with our daily activities. These technologies have undoubtedly brought convenience, connectivity, and speed, making our lives easier and more efficient. However, their influence on our brain function and cognitive abilities cannot…

Quantifying attention span across the lifespan

Alexander J. Simon, Courtney L. Gallen, David A. Ziegler et al. · 22 Jun 2023

Introduction: Studies examining sustained attention abilities typically utilize metrics that quantify performance on vigilance tasks, such as response time and response time variability. However, approaches that assess the duration that an individual can maintain their attention over time are lacking. Methods: Here we developed an objective attention span metric that quantified the maximum amount of…

Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease: current view

K. A. Jellinger · 5 Apr 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common motor movement disorder and second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease (AD), is often preceded by a period of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is associated with impairment of a variety of cognitive domains including executive function, attention, visuospatial abilities and memory. MCI, a risk factor for developing…

Dendritic plateau potentials can process spike sequences across multiple time-scales

Johannes Leugering, Pascal Nieters, Gordon Pipa · 14 Feb 2023

The brain constantly processes information encoded in temporal sequences of spiking activity. This sequential activity emerges from sensory inputs as well as from the brain's own recurrent connectivity and spans multiple dynamically changing timescales. Decoding the temporal order of spiking activity across these varying timescales is a critical function of the brain, but we do…

Temporal attention

Verena C. Seibold, Janina Balke, Bettina Rolke · 17 Apr 2023

Attention, that is, the ability to focus processing resources on a specific part of sensory input, is often thought of as being mainly allocated in space, toward specific objects or modalities. However, attention can also be allocated within time. Temporal attention can be induced implicitly, that is, through learning of temporal regularities between at least…

Frontiers in Cognition template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Frontiers in Cognition format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Frontiers in Cognition template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Frontiers format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Frontiers in Cognition use?
Frontiers in Cognition uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C.
