Signal detection theory can be used to better understand cognitive fatigue
A team of New Jersey researchers has shown that changes in perceptual certainty and response bias, two central metrics of signal detection theory (SDT), correlate with changes in cognitive fatigue. They also show that SDT measures change as a function of changes in brain activation. This finding was reported in
Frontiers in Psychology on January 15, 2021, in the open access article Using Signal Detection Theory to Better Understand Cognitive Fatigue (doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.579188).
The authors are Glenn Wylie, DPhil, Brian Yao, PhD, and John DeLuca, PhD, of Kessler Foundation, and Joshua Sandry, PhD, of Montclair State University.

STRAFFORD Voters in Strafford on Tuesday opted to authorize cannabis retailers in town when sales of recreational amounts of marijuana becomes legal in 2022 in a 293-176 vote.
Residents also voted 399-70 to accept a donation of 106.7 acres of land in Strafford from the Alliance for Vermont Communities. Sharon voters later this spring will decide whether to do the same with 150 adjoining acres. Together they comprise the Ashley Community Forest. The proposed donation to the two towns includes $20,000 to seed a management fund.
Both the $1.15 million town budget (434-29) and the $3.35 million school budget (388-77) easily passed.
