Despite 2 centuries of research, the question of whether attending to a sensory modality
speeds the perception of stimuli in that modality has yet to be resolved. The authors highlight …

This study was designed to assess the potential benefits of using spatial auditory warning
signals in a simulated driving task. In particular, the authors assessed the possible …

Driver inattention has been identified as one of the leading causes for car accidents. The
