Mental workload and neural efficiency quantified in the prefrontal cortex using fNIRS

Abstract An improved understanding of how the brain allocates mental resources as a function of task difficulty is critical for enhancing human performance. Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a field-deployable optical brain monitoring technology that provides a direct measure of cereb...
