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 …

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a globally prevalent mental health condition, yet its classification remains largely reliant on subjective reports, lacking objective neurobiological biomarkers. This study employed functional near-infrared spectroscopy …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has emerged as a promising technique in motor cognitive neuroscience and has become an important neuroimaging tool for the study of motor cognition. This review synthesizes evidence from fNIRS studies to …

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 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 …
