Abstract
Attention is a core cognitive domain crucial in facilitating day-to-day life. Using an attention network test (ANT) along with event-related potentials (ERPs) in older individuals with hearing loss would provide excellent information about the impact of hearing loss on attentional processes. Thus, the current study aims to understand the attentional deficits and its cortical dynamics in older individuals with and without hearing loss. The study recruited 40 participants, 20 older individuals with hearing loss and 20 age and education-matched controls with normal hearing. All the participants underwent cognitive assessment using ANT with simultaneous 32-channel EEG recording. Results revealed significant impairment in executive attention and subtle alterations in alerting and orienting attention among older individuals with hearing loss compared to their normal-hearing counterparts. These findings suggest the negative impact of hearing loss on attentional networks. In addition, ANT and ERPs provide insight into the underlying neural mechanisms in specific attention network deficits associated with hearing loss.
期刊介绍：
Cognitive Neurodynamics provides a unique forum of communication and cooperation for scientists and engineers working in the field of cognitive neurodynamics, intelligent science and applications, bridging the gap between theory and application, without any preference for pure theoretical, experimental or computational models.
The emphasis is to publish original models of cognitive neurodynamics, novel computational theories and experimental results. In particular, intelligent science inspired by cognitive neuroscience and neurodynamics is also very welcome.
The scope of Cognitive Neurodynamics covers cognitive neuroscience, neural computation based on dynamics, computer science, intelligent science as well as their interdisciplinary applications in the natural and engineering sciences. Papers that are appropriate for non-specialist readers are encouraged.
1. There is no page limit for manuscripts submitted to Cognitive Neurodynamics. Research papers should clearly represent an important advance of especially broad interest to researchers and technologists in neuroscience, biophysics, BCI, neural computer and intelligent robotics.
2. Cognitive Neurodynamics also welcomes brief communications: short papers reporting results that are of genuinely broad interest but that for one reason and another do not make a sufficiently complete story to justify a full article publication. Brief Communications should consist of approximately four manuscript pages.
3. Cognitive Neurodynamics publishes review articles in which a specific field is reviewed through an exhaustive literature survey. There are no restrictions on the number of pages. Review articles are usually invited, but submitted reviews will also be considered.
