Subways are central to underground transit environments and subtly influence passengers’ moods and mental states, yet the effects of lighting and decorative design remain underexplored. This study employed a within-subject design in which 21 …
As robotics technologies are increasingly integrated into construction sites, cooperation between human workers and collaborative robots needs new strategies to address effective real-time teaming dynamics. Such teaming dynamics depend on strong Team …
Background: Thermoneutral head-out water immersion is used as a ground-based microgravity analog, but prefrontal hemodynamic responses to postural transitions in water are poorly characterized. This pilot study tested whether immersion attenuates the …
Increase complexity in surgical workflows, with the introduction of digital interfaces and navigation, has the potential risk of introducing cognitive burden to the user. Understanding the effect of different surgical workflows on the user’s mental …
Human motor control relies on the integration of sensory information to ensure stable and efficient move ment. Augmented feedback (aFB) provides external cues that can enhance movement execution, yet little is known about its neural correlates during …
Objectives: This study investigated whether older adults with Tai Chi (TC) exercise exhibited similar dynamic postural stability and prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation as young adults during precision fitting tasks. Methods: Gender-matched groups of …
We aimed to investigate whether changes in prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) and deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) associates with inspiratory muscle effort during inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) in healthy participants. Participants performed an …
Introduction : Dual-task studies have demonstrated that walking is attention-demanding for younger adults. However, numerous studies have attributed this to task type rather than the amount of required to accomplish the task. This study examined four …
Background: At present, the effects of upper limb movement are generally evaluated from the level of motor performance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response of the cerebral cortex to different upper limb movement patterns from the …
Background:Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a neuromodulatory tech-nique that delivers low levels of a constant current via scalp electrodes to specificallytargeted areas of the brain. The effects of tDCS on whole-body exercise …
International physical activity guidelines recommend that older adults accumulate 150 min/week of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). It is unclear whether meeting this recommendation is associated with better higher-order cognitive functions …
