Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Declines in selective attention are one of the sources contributing to age-related impairments in a broad range of cognitive functions. Most previous research on mechanisms underlying older adults' selection deficits has studied the deployment of visual attention to static objects and features. Here  investigate neural correlates of age-related differences in spatial attention to multiple objects as they move.  used a multiple object tracking task, in which younger and older adults re asked to keep track of moving target objects that moved randomly in the visual field among irrelevant distractor objects. By recording the brain's electrophysiological responses during the tracking period,  re able to delineate neural processing for targets and distractors at early stages of visual processing â¼100-300 msec. Older adults shod less selective attentional modulation in the early phase of the visual P1 component 100-125 msec than younger adults, indicating that early selection is compromised in old age. Hover, with a 25-msec delay relative to younger adults, older adults shod distinct processing of targets 125-150 msec, that is, a delayed yet intact attentional modulation. The magnitude of this delayed attentional modulation was related to tracking performance in older adults. The amplitude of the N1 component 175-210 msec was smaller in older adults than in younger adults, and the target amplification effect of this component was also smaller in older relative to younger adults. Overall, these results indicate that normal aging affects the efficiency and timing of early visual processing during multiple object tracking.
