Background The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is an important node for action planning in the frontoparietal reaching network but its role in reaching in children with cerebral palsy (CP) is unexplored. This case–control study combines a robotic task with …
Assessment of cerebral oxygenation during repeated squat stands following an acute sport-related concussion (SRC) has the potential to identify physiological changes following SRC. All varsity university athletes completed a pre-season assessment and …
A child’s social world is complex and rich, but has traditionally been assessed with conventional experiments where children are presented with repeated stimuli on a screen. These assessments are impoverished relative to the dynamics of social …
Importance Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive technique used to quantify prefrontal cortex (PFC) neuroexcitation. The PFC is involved in the decision to void, and dysfunction in the region has been associated with …
To date, 770 million people worldwide have contracted COVID-19, with many reporting long-term “brain fog”. Concerningly, young adults are both overrepresented in COVID-19 infection rates and may be especially vulnerable to prolonged cognitive …
Understanding the complex activation patterns of brain regions during motor tasks is crucial. Integrated functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers advanced insights into how brain activity …
Significance: Studies using simultaneous functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-electroencephalography (EEG) during natural sleep in infancy are rare. Developments for combined fNIRS-EEG for sleep research that ensure optimal comfort as well …
Significance The advances and miniaturization in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) instrumentation offer the potential to move the classical laboratory-based cognitive neuroscience investigations into more naturalistic settings. Wearable …
Purpose This study examined the effect of 3 and 6 weeks of intensity domain-based exercise training on V˙O2 kinetics changes and their relationship with indices of performance. Methods Eighty-four young healthy participants (42 M, 42 F) were randomly …
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve endurance performance. Purpose: We investigated the concurrent impact of HIIT and blood-flow restriction (BFR) as a novel approach to further enhance maximal aerobic and anaerobic physiology and …
High-voltage functional electrical stimulation (HVFES) training of denervated, degenerated muscle (DDM) increases muscle mass and force output, regenerates muscle fibers and restores muscle ultrastructure. However, the effects of this training on the …
Nocturnal oxygen enrichment improves sleep at high-altitude but may impair acclimatization. PURPOSE: Determine if nocturnal oxygen enrichment impacts acclimatization. METHODS: A 7-day acclimatization protocol occurred at a field-based research site …
We aimed to compare individual hypertrophic responses to high-load resistance training (HL-RT) or high-load with blood flow restriction (HL-BFR). Furthermore, we investigated whether greater responsiveness to one of the protocols could be explained …
This study investigates concurrent changes in cognitive workload and situation awareness during the use of full driving automation. Research shows that automation use has a negative effect on situation awareness. Driving studies posit a decline in …
Background: Blood flow restriction caused by peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is reflected in reduced walking capacity. The peripheral mechanisms that may affect the walking capacity of individuals with PAD are not yet fully understood. This study …
Bone fractures are associated with hypoxia, but no longitudinal studies of perfusion measurements in human patients have been reported despite the clinical and research potential. In this longitudinal observational cohort study, the near-infrared …
Robotics holds the potential to streamline the execution of repetitive and dangerous tasks, which are difficult or impossible for a human operator. However, in complex scenarios, such as nuclear waste management or disaster response, full automation …
The gold standard to assess the aerobic capacity in physically active subjects and athletes is the maximal oxygen consumption test (VO2-max), which involves analysis of exhaled-gases and cardiorespiratory variables obtained via the breath-by-breath …
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is typically characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, which may be associated with a failure to naturally orient to social stimuli, particularly in recognizing and responding to facial …
Purpose To examine whether the children’s superiority, over adults, to resist fatigue during repeated maximal-efforts depends on their often-cited oxidative advantage, attributed to greater muscle blood flow and O2-delivery. We also investigated the …
