Objectives: Poor sleep quality is a significant public health challenge, particularly among young adults, and can impede recovery and rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of objective, field-deployable neurophysiological markers for widespread …

Exercise has been shown to support brain health, cognitive function, and increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). While BDNF is known to support the central nervous system through improved brain metabolism, vasculature, …

This protocol describes a laboratory-based experimental method for investigating whether exposure to contagious yawning stimuli is associated with measurable changes in subjective and physiological markers of sleepiness. The protocol employs a …

Underground metro cabins rely almost entirely on artificial lighting, which simultaneously provides visual input and circadian cues for passengers. Yet, neurophysiological evidence remains scarce on how time-of-day–specific illuminance and correlated …

While generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly being designed for humanlike roles to facilitate learning, the extent to which learners perceive GenAI as a real human remains unclear. This study investigated the impact of …

Choir singing is a widely practiced activity that offers multiple benefits, as demonstrated by psychophysiological studies in both healthy and pathological populations. However, the processes underlying these outcomes are still not fully understood. …

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed face-to-face interactions, as face masks cover facial zones and affect face perception. Preterm birth is associated with altered face perception, which is important in socio-cognitive development. Use of face …

The rapid integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) into human–AI collaborative learning contexts has attracted extensive attention from educators and researchers. However, relatively little is known about the underlying cognitive and …

Auxiliary line construction has been identified as a crucial approach to fostering mathematical creative thinking. However, existing studies have only focused on the correlations between auxiliary line construction tasks and mathematical creative …

While generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has advanced personalized interactive learning, the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying learners’ informal reasoning improvement remain underexplored. Thus, we conducted sliding-window …

Fine motor decline serves as a critical early biomarker for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease, making its accurate assessment essential for early detection and intervention. While functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers …

To handle nonstationary dynamics and intersubject variability in fNIRS depression classification, we fuse temporal, spectral, spatial, and cross-channel features and design a multiscale DTW with temporal and channel attention. Individual and cohort …

Within industrialised and emerging industrialised economies people typically spend over 95% in industrialised and emerging industrialised economies typically spend over 95% of their time in built environments, yet the neurophysiological impact of …

Cognitive impairment can affect up to 50% of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and is associated with reduced treatment adherence, high mortality rates, and poor quality of life. Non-pharmacological strategies including cognitive intervention …

Background/Objectives: Three types of neuroplasticity that have been reported following hearing aid uptake include: cross-modal reorganization, homologue shifts, and neighbouring region restructuring. However, such evidence primarily stems from …

The purpose of this work was to determine endothelial, microvascular, skeletal muscle oxidative capacity (SMOC) and cardiorespiratory responses to an acute bout of continuous single leg cycling (SLC) and double leg cycling (DLC). Ten recreationally …

Frontal regions are involved in early stages of motor adaptation. However, the interactions between prefrontal cortex (PFC) and motor cortex (MC) remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between PFC and MC in the process of motor …

Increased cognitive load during cycling can lead to safety issues, particularly during complex situations such as participating in motorised traffic or manoeuvring at intersections. Understanding the patterns of cognitive activity in cyclists across …

Objective Examine cortical activation patterns in Huntington’s disease (HD) under single-task (ST) and dual-task (DT) balance conditions compared to controls using portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Background Individuals with HD …

Aim Electronic sports (eSports) are sports in which multiple players compete in video games with a defined set of rules. This may have an impact on cognitive function or psychiatric symptoms in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI); …
