How May Prefrontal Cortex Networks Mediate Cognitive Control and Executive Functions?
Meta-Reflections
-
This literature review is communicated through an electronic infographic, which allows a layout optimised for computer viewing in this digital event
-
Time taken to make this infographic is comparable to a traditional posters and a free website building platform is used; the constructing process has the similar ease of use for a person with certain digital literacy
-
Similar formats as this infographic are more advantageous for academic communication as it also enables elements beyond traditional paper-based posters, such as animation, audio, video, 3D models, and interactive components that can substantially enhance clarity and effectiveness of communication
-
Although this infographic incorporated the aforementioned elements to a limited degree due to technical challenges and suitability for presentation, the buttons for switching sections and image slideshow imitating an animation of PFC network dynamics has improved the the presentation of content
-
It is suggested that academics should consider incorporating those elements when suitable as they have high potential under the global trend of moving academic communication events online during and after the COVID pandemic
