Background/Objectives: Lightweight and portable functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) systems enable neuromonitoring in clinical environments such as operating rooms. Patient posture is known to influence physiology, behavior, and brain …

Teacher–student interactions are crucial in language learning, often modulated by students’ emotional status. Although the interaction quality is known to be associated with improved learning outcomes, its effect in anxious contexts remains unclear. …

ypnotizability is associated with several physiological differences, including functional equivalence between actual and imagined action. EEG studies also revealed different information processing in these conditions in participants with high (highs) …

Inhibitory control develops over time and is linked to fronto-striatal maturation. Traditional computerised assessments often lack ecological validity and are not age appropriate. Here, we developed a naturalistic, age-appropriate paradigm using a …

PostCOVID-19 is a condition affecting approximately 10% of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, presenting significant challenges in diagnosis and clinical management. Portable neuroimaging techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy …

This systematic review analyses advancements in cognitive state recognition from 2010 to early 2024, evaluating 405 relevant articles from an initial pool of 2398 records identified through five databases: Scopus, Engineering Village, Web of Science, …

Background: Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) is a motor dysfunction disorder resulting from perinatal developmental brain injury, predominantly impairing upper limb function in children. Nonetheless, there has been insufficient research on the brain …

Recent empirical investigations suggest that music performance and perception can evoke a collective cardiac response in performers and audience members, and interpersonal cardiac coupling can be related to musical features. However, the relationship …

Ensuring safety in next-generation intelligent cockpits demands accurate assessment of pilot states, particularly distinguishing between eustress and distress. Traditional stress monitoring lacks this nuance and struggles across varying flight tasks. …

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impairs both motor and cognitive functions. Accurate detection of PD remains a major challenge, particularly at early stages when clinical symptoms are subtle. This study …

People tend to engage with content that aligns with their pre‐existing attitudes, forming echo chambers that reinforce biases and may amplify extremism. Here, we investigate whether discussions within homogeneous groups drive attitudinal extremity …

Objectives: To investigate prefrontal cortex activation during single- and dual-task treadmill exercises at an imposed speed and a speed selected by patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Eleven patients with PD (Hoehn and Yahr's stages …

Teacher-related factors significantly impact students’ higher-order thinking. However, the mechanisms of how these factors specifically affect students’ higher-order thinking in urban science classrooms are unclear, especially in the absence of …

Background Internal and external cueing strategies are often applied to alleviate gait deficits in Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, it remains unclear which type of cueing strategy is most effective at different disease stages. The underlying …

The performance of Functional Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) devices critically depends on the probe design, which affects signal quality, spatial and depth resolution, and data reliability. A critical component of probe separation is …

Background Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative disease characterized primarily by pain and joint dysfunction, especially during level and stair walking. Although traditionally classified as a peripheral joint disease, emerging …

Growing evidence demonstrates the importance of environmental quality for human health and wellbeing. Environmental psychology can inform planning and design of future environments, but previous research often used simulated settings, limiting …

This study aimed to use functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) mobile neuroimaging technology to examine changes in prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity before, during, and after yoga asana (physical yoga postures). A total of 27 healthy adults …

Purpose Psychology and social science research offer some promising work in the field of decision-making science. However, given the qualitative nature of much of this research, understanding some physiological bases of decision-making may assist by …

Background Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) as an objective diagnostic tool, we aimed to (1) compare fNIRS measurements in adult and youth male rugby players against controls over a playing season, and 2) document the fNIRS changes …
