Effect of prolonged stimulation on cerebral hemodynamic: A time-resolved fNIRS study

Abstract

Purpose: Sustained attention is one of the most important cognitive abilities for the management of everyday life, but it is often studied only at the behavioral level, while functional correlates are scarcely investigated. In this article, the authors address the topic of characterizing the dynamics of cerebral metabolism in the prefrontal cortex during a task of prolonged attention.
