Maintaining sustained attention during a prolonged cognitive task often comes at a cost:
high levels of mental fatigue. Heuristically, mental fatigue refers to a feeling of tiredness or …

Cortical activity during periods of rest is punctuated by widespread, synchronous events in
both electrophysiological and hemodynamic signals, but their behavioral relevance remains …

Due to the increasing number of fatal traffic accidents, there are strong desire for more
effective and convenient techniques for driving fatigue detection. Here, we propose a unified …

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an optical diffusion technique that allows
the non-invasive imaging of cortical activity. During the last two decades, rapid technical and …

Cognitive Fatigue (CF) is an important confound impacting cognitive performance. How CF
is triggered and what are the features that make a cognitive effort perceived as exhausting …

Human cognition is flexible-drawing on both sensory input, and representations from
memory, to successfully navigate complex environments. Contemporary accounts suggest …

Introduction Functional connectivity (FC) of the human brain's intrinsically connected
networks underpins cognitive functioning and disruptions of FC are associated with sleep …

Increasing time spent on the task (ie, the time-on-task (ToT) effect) often results in mental
fatigue. Typical effects of ToT are decreasing levels of task-related motivation and the …

Fatigue induced by sustained cognitive demands often entails decreased behavioural
performance and the unavailability of brain resources, either due to reduced levels or …

Long-lasting and demanding cognitive activity typically leads to mental fatigue (MF). Indirect
evidence suggests that MF may be caused by altered motivational processes. Here, we …
