Objective There is a strong interaction between motor skills and cognitive benefits for
children and young people. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between …

Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive, safe, and portable optical
neuroimaging method that can be used to assess brain dynamics during skill acquisition …

In light of the interrelation between motor and cognitive development and the predictive
value of the former for the latter, the secular decline observed in motor coordination ability as …

In this commentary, we highlight intriguing commonalities between the research areas of
exercise and cognition and motor skill development and learning. While these two research …

Background The effects of open and closed skill exercise interventions for executive function
in children and adolescents have received widespread attention. Open skill refers to the skill …

Previous work focused on cognitive workload assessment suggests EEG spectral content
and component amplitudes of the event-related potential (ERP) waveform may index mental …

The allocation of mental workload is critical to maintain cognitive-motor performance under
various demands. While mental workload has been investigated during performance, limited …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability, significantly impacting the quality of life (QOL) in
survivors, and rehabilitation remains the mainstay of treatment in these patients. Recent …

The brains of awake, resting human subjects display spontaneously occurring neural activity
patterns whose magnitude is typically many times greater than those triggered by cognitive …

Background Using functional near infrared spectroscopy, a noninvasive, optical brain
imaging tool that monitors changes in hemodynamics within the prefrontal cortex (PFC), we …
