David Strayer runs the Applied Cognition Laboratory at the University of Utah. His work examines human attention and the limits of human multitasking ability. He studies how attentional capacities can be restored by interacting with nature. The lab uses converging methodologies to measure changes in both attention and performance, from psychophysiological (EEG and fMRI), subjective ratings, to primary (e.g., driving performance) and secondary task (e.g., reaction time) measures.
