Abstract:According to the arousal model of vigilance, the locus
coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system modulates sustained attention
over long periods by regulating physiological arousal. Recent research
has proposed that transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation
(taVNS) modulates indirect physiological markers of LC-NE activity,
although its effects on vigilance have not yet been examined. Aiming to
develop a safe and non-invasive procedure to prevent vigilance failures
in prolonged tasks, the present study ex… Show more
