Description of the research topic:

Attention can be captured by stimuli presented in several contexts thereby distracting us from our on-going activity. Research on distraction focused mostly on sensory processes. In the last couple of years, however, several studies showed that the presentation of certain distracting stimuli may exert an influence on the motor system within a short (as short as a 100 ms) interval. The goal of the present research project is to investigate the influence of distracting stimuli on motor behavior mainly with the methods of experimental psychology.
