Detection of attention deficits based on brain activity

What is it about?

Imagine the last time you went to the airport. Alright, now remember this airport screening officer, focused on the screen, scanning, analysing the content of your suitcase, scanning again, in sum, repeating again and again the same task. This guy was, for sure, subject to attention deficits at a certain point in the day.
