Abstract

The article informs about a study based on determining the effect of caffeine on the human attention process. It mentions that the participants in the study were subjected to a single blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. It includes that pharmacological functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in the study. The findings of the study revealed that caffeine particularly enhances the orienting attention network.
