Huge congrats to ⁦@NoraPlethora on her 2nd PhD paper on multisensory attention development onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mb…! In the 1st paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl… we showd adult-like stable EEG topogrphc patterns reflecting visual & nascent, for AV selective attention- from 9y 1/n

Here we showed that when stable EEG patterns are clustered using each age group as own ref, stable EEG patterns refl vis selective attn appear from 5y & for AV attention from 7y. So attention skills visible in beh can be supported by both 'maturing' & age-specific brn mechs 2/n

We finish the paper by discussing how N2pc - and any other ERP components - are useful as proxies of neurocogn mechs. But they should be used only as proxies, as they are not forcibly present any time a cog process is active (e.g. attn selection). We need 3/n @AcademicEEG

more sensitive, multivariate #EEG methods for analyses of classic #ERP components so we can detect the neurocog mechs even outside of 'optimal' settings for an ERP component, for #N2pc - e.g. measuring N2pc to distractors; AV settings; developmental populations. 4/4 @AcademicEEG

The paper is a result of a fantastic collaboration with @GaiaScerif, @AnneM_maillard , @tivadarux & Chrysa Retsa And thanks to @MedGIFT_group @ICT_Sierre and @snsf_ch for the support.
