Summary
This paper discusses the changes in steady-state pupil size during 29 hours of continuous wakefulness in healthy young men, and how these variations were associated with variations in motivation and sustained attention performance.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the effects of prolonged wakefulness on steady-state pupil size in healthy young men.
Alertness and performance: The paper explores how variations in steady-state pupil size during prolonged wakefulness are associated with variations in motivation and sustained attention performance.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how pupil size is influenced by motivation and cognitive effort, with a larger pupil when performing more difficult tasks or while being more engaged in the task.
