Just maybe this might help survivors attend to cognitive tasks. But we will never know since we have NO stroke strategy to update or follow thru on. We have fools and jesters in stroke leadership. Don't expect anything to improve until the existing stroke associations are destroyed. Don't do this on your own.

MMM, et al. – This study exhibited that in healthy adult subjects oral
administration of a single 60 mg caffeine dose elicited a clear
enhancement of sustained attention and alertness, measured both in
multiple objective performances and in subjective scales.
Methods
- In this study, the researchers investigated the acute impacts of a 60 mg dose of caffeine on sustained attention in tests lasting up to 45 minutes using 82 low or non-caffeine-consuming healthy male (n=41) and female (n=41) adults aged somewhere around 40 and 60 years.
- Vigilance was measured utilizing Mackworth Clock test, Rapid Visual Information Processing Test, adaptive tracking test, saccadic eye movement and attention switch test.
- Impacts on mood and fatigue were analysed utilizing Bond and Lader and Caffeine Research visual analogue scales, and Samn–Perelli questionnaire.
- Saliva sampling was performed for both compliance and caffeine pharmacokinetic analysis.
Results
- Researchers found that administration of a 60 mg caffeine dose brought about a significant improvement in sustained attention compared with the placebo.
- Additionally a significantly improved peak saccadic velocity and reaction time performance was found, and diminished error rate.
- Significantly expanded feelings of alertness, contentment and overall mood after caffeine treatment compared with placebo were watched.
