A New Approach for Examining the Changes of Brain Behaviors Between Problem-Finding and Problem-Solving in Design Teamwork
Past research has demonstrated the validity of co-evolutionary model in depicting human design activities, while few empirical studies have articulated the connections between design behavior and implicit cognitive process during team-level design …
Effectiveness of a game-based high-intensity interval training on executive function and other health indicators of children with ADHD: A three-arm partially-blinded randomized controlled trial
Background Children with ADHD demand for effective intervention with minimum side effect to improve executive function (EF) and health well-being. Method This study used a three-arm partially-blinded randomized controlled trial to test the effects of …
Investigating Cerebello-Frontal Circuits Associated with Emotional Prosody: A Double-Blind tDCS and fNIRS study
The emotional and cognitive cerebellum has been explored by several studies in the past years. Recent evidence suggested the possible contribution of the cerebellum in processing emotional prosody, namely the ability to comprehend the emotional …
A mechanistic understanding of cognitive performance deficits concurrent with vigorous intensity exercise
This study aimed to evaluate whether cerebral oxygenation of the prefrontal cortex and associative-dissociative focus while completing the task mediate changes in cognition during exercise. Seventy-five young college-aged adults participated in this …
Prefrontal cortex activation under stress as a function of borderline personality disorder in female adolescents engaging in non-suicidal self-injury
Background: Neuroimaging studies suggest alterations in prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in healthy adults under stress. Adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) report difficulties in stress and emotion regulation, which may be dependent on …
The Benefit of Hearing Aids as Measured by Listening Accuracy, Subjective Listening Effort, and Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy
There is broad consensus that listening effort is an important outcome for measuring hearing performance. However, there remains debate on the best ways to measure listening effort. This study sought to measure neural correlates of listening effort …
The Time Course of Changes in Prefrontal Cortex Activity During Walking in People With Parkinson’s Disease
Background: Walking abnormalities in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are characterized by a shift in locomotor control from healthy automaticity to compensatory, executive control, mainly located in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Although PFC …
Acupuncture at Hegu (IC4) Point Detects Brain Oxygen Supply Disturbances in Patients with Brain Disorders: a fNIRS study on brain oxygen sensing
The functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technique was introduced for use in general medical practice to measure brain blood oxygenation along with physiological parameters such as 4-channel EEG, heart rate, blood oxygenation, blood volume …
Association between neural prosody discrimination and language abilities in toddlers: a functional near-infrared spectroscopy study
Background: Language delay affects near- and long-term social communication and learning in toddlers, and, an increasing number of experts pay attention to it. The development of prosody discrimination is one of the earliest stages of language …
Is virtual reality-based cognitive training in parallel with functional near-infrared spectroscopy-derived neurofeedback beneficial to improve cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment?
Purpose Cognitive training in parallel with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-derived neurofeedback has been identified to be beneficial in enhancing cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, effects of …
Quantifying Threat or Challenge Response of Undergraduate Paramedicine Students During High-Stress Clinical Scenarios: A Narrative Review
Paramedic work can be stressful. Encountering clinically unwell patients, long shift hours and dealing with the unknown expose paramedics to mental, physical and emotional stress. In the learning environment, these types of stresses are difficult for …
An fNIRS dataset for driving risk cognition of passengers in highly automated driving scenarios
For highly autonomous vehicles, human does not need to operate continuously vehicles. The brain-computer interface system in autonomous vehicles will highly depend on the brain states of passengers rather than those of human drivers. It is a …
Hammerstein–Wiener Motion Artifact Correction for Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: A Novel Inertial Measurement Unit-Based Technique
Participant movement is a major source of artifacts in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) experiments. Mitigating the impact of motion artifacts (MAs) is crucial to estimate brain activity robustly. Here, we suggest and evaluate a novel …
Prefrontal Correlates of Passengers’ Mental Activity Based on fNIRS for High-Level Automated Vehicles
With the spread adoption of artificial intelligence, the great challenges confronted by the intelligent safety concern-safety of the intended functionality has become the biggest roadblock to the mass production of high-level automated vehicles, …
Prefrontal cortical activity during uneven terrain walking in younger and older adults
Introduction: Walking in complex environments increases the cognitive demand of locomotor control; however, our understanding of the neural mechanisms contributing to walking on uneven terrain is limited. We used a novel method for altering terrain …
Aerobic exercise on the treadmill combined with transcranial direct current stimulation on the gait of people with Parkinson’s disease: A protocol for a randomized clinical trial
Gait impairments negatively affect the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD). Aerobic exercise (AE) is an alternative to alleviate these impairments and its combination with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has …
Cerebral and muscle near-infrared spectroscopy during lower-limb muscle activity – volitional and neuromuscular electrical stimulation
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can lead to blood clotting in the deep veins of the legs, a disease known as deep vein thrombosis. An estimated 40 percent of people in the United States have venous insufficiency that may be ameliorated with …
Classification of Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Derived Biomarkers With Convolutional Neural Networks
Objective To date, early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has mainly depended on paper-based neuropsychological assessments. Recently, biomarkers for MCI detection have gained a lot of attention because of the low sensitivity of …
Neurocognitive effects a combined polyphenolic-rich herbal extract in healthy middle-aged adults – a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
