Crochet increases attention through a requiring motor skill learning by Davide Rossi Sebastiano, Cristina Muscio, Dunja Duran, Deborah Bonfoco, Sara Dotta, Paola Anversa, Elisa Pellencin, Pietro Tiraboschi, Elisa Visani

“…Data revealed that crochet determined a significant effect (before, T0, vs after, T1, the crochet session) on reaction times (for all cue and stimulus types), improving alertness and orienting networks (but not executive control) only in the CRO group. Data of FC are coherent with the behavioural ones. We observed that the Betweenness Centrality maximum (BCmax) index in the beta band significantly increased, and global FC in the alpha band significantly increased at T1 for the CRO group but not for the CTR group. …”
