Human–robot collaboration (HRC) has improved flexibility and productivity in industrial environments; however, current safety standards primarily address physical risks, overlooking operators’ mental workload. This study adopts a neuroergonomic …

This study aims to explore the differences in sustained attention load caused by functional partitioning and object distribution on desktops, as measured by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), providing a basis for optimizing study/office …

Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) has shown promise for pain relief, including in cancer-related contexts, yet its underlying neurophysiological correlates remain unclear. Understanding brain-based correlates is important for evaluating VR programs …

Objective: In movement science, there are no recommendations regarding the number of trials (NoT) required to stabilize the intertrial variability of the cerebral hemodynamic response (CHR) in fNIRS block design. This study aimed to determine the …

Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is widely used to measure cognitive load during working memory tasks. However, little is known about how task structure modulates load-dependent neural responses. Objective We examined how …

Partially automated driving systems still rely on human drivers to monitor the environment and resume control when needed. Due to reduced vigilance and situation awareness during automation, drivers may misjudge the level of risk and the system’s …

Introduction: Recent initiatives have sought to understand the impact of somatosensory feedback during varying speech production tasks. The supramarginal gyrus (SMG) is a multi-function region that represents the somatosensory system and plays an …

Effective mental workload recognition is essential for reducing human error and enabling dynamic function allocation in human–machine systems. In this study, a multimodal physiological sensor-based mental workload recognition approach was developed …

Working with others is an essential skill for everyday life. Interpersonal neural synchrony (INS) has been suggested as a potential neurobiological correlate of collaboration between parents and school-aged children. This study investigated whether …

Purpose To compare acute hemoglobin responses during bench press (BP) exercise among bodybuilders (BB), powerlifters (PL), Paralympic powerlifters (PP), and untrained controls (CON), with emphasis on relative load and sport background. Methods …

Significance Naturalistic fNIRS data acquired on children enable studying real-world behaviors but challenge standard analysis methods such as block averaging and general linear model (GLM). In naturalistic paradigms, events often overlap, whereas …

To investigate the influence of decision-making styles on college students’ sports and health consumption preferences and the underlying cognitive neural mechanisms, this study recruited 39 college students as participants, adopted a one-factor …

Introduction: An acute bout of exercise is associated with an increased cognitive performance and oxygenation levels in the cortical areas of human brain. Aim of the study: In the current study we evaluated the effect of acute bout of highintensity …

Gentleness, defined as the ability to handle tissues delicately while minimizing unnecessary force, is a critical indicator of surgical proficiency. Objective and real-time assessment of gentleness in virtual reality (VR)-based training can improve …

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 …

Hearing aids have improved speech intelligibility but not speech emotion perception in older adults with hearing loss. Hearing loss has also been linked to altered brain responses to emotional non-speech sounds, potentially contributing to the speech …

The complex environment of night flights poses unique challenges to flight training safety. During night flight training, pilots must not only master general flight techniques but also overcome the intricate factors associated with nighttime …

This study aims to identify physiological features sensitive to human–automation trust (HAT) and to distinguish between high HAT (HHAT) and low HAT (LHAT) levels. A simulated aviation monitoring and takeover task was conducted under a 2 (reliability) …

The ability to perceive other people’s emotions is essential for social interaction and communication. Emotion perception involves complex cognitive processes triggered by visual, auditory, or both stimuli. However, it remains unclear how people use …

Purpose The prefrontal cortex [PFC] is crucial in controlling food-related impulses. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy [fNIRS] represents a wearable functional neuroimaging technology for measuring PFC activation in real life. Aims of the study …
